EMERGENCY SERVICES BILLING RATE INCREASE AND ADDITION OF LIFT
ASSIST AND TREATMENT WITHOUT TRANSPORT CHARGES:
The Department of Emergency Services is in the process of implementing services with
EMS|MC for ambulance billing and revenue recovery services. As part of the transition to a new
billing contractor, EMS|MC conducted an analysis of Queen Anne’s County’s current ambulance
rates, Medicare reimbursement trends, the 2026 Ambulance Inflation Factor, and charges assessed
by neighboring Maryland jurisdictions. EMS|MC determined that the County’s existing rates are
significantly below regional benchmarks and recommended a 200% increase in transport charges
to better align with prevailing market rates and improve cost recovery. In addition, EMS|MC
recommended establishing charges for Lift Assist responses and Treatment Without Transport
encounters. These services require the deployment of personnel, vehicles, equipment, and medical
supplies but currently generate no reimbursement despite representing a growing portion of EMS
workload.
Service Medicare Rate Current Rate Proposed Rate
BLS Emergency $468.30 $425.00 $936.60
ALS 1 Emergency $556.11 $650.00 $1112.22

PROCUREMENT POLICY ADDENDUM AND DONATION AND SPONSORSHIP
POLICIES REVISION:
The Procurement Policy Addendum #1 supplements the County's existing Procurement
Policy #400-010 specifically for procurements funded in whole or in part with federal grants,
cooperative agreements, or pass-through federal funds — purely locally funded procurements are
not affected. Its core purpose is to bring the County into compliance with the federal Uniform
Guidance (2 CFR Part 200), and it explicitly states that where it conflicts with #400-010, the
Addendum controls for federally funded purchases. The most consequential provision for day-to-
day operations is Section 4.3: the County's existing Local Vendor Preference and any other
geographic preference cannot be applied to federally funded procurements — no exceptions
across solicitation, scoring, tie-breaking, or award. Secondly, the Donation and Sponsorship
Policy replaces the County's old "Donated Property" policy from 2010 with a much broader
Donation and Sponsorship Policy covering cash gifts, real and personal property, in-kind
services, and sponsorship/naming-rights arrangements. It sets a tiered approval structure based
on dollar value and type: the Director of Budget and Finance can approve unrestricted cash gifts
up to $25,000 and property up to $10,000; the County Administrator can approve restricted
donations and sponsorships up to $100,000; and anything above that — plus all real property
donations, naming rights, and gifts with long-term maintenance or contractual obligations —
requires Board of County Commissioners approval. The County also reserves broad discretion to
decline any donation that creates conflicts of interest, liability, ongoing burdens, or doesn't serve
a clear public purpose, and acceptance never implies endorsement of the donor. The policy
builds out controls around restricted donations, sponsorships, donated property, donated services
and volunteers, and financial controls. It also addresses tax matters — clarifying the County
doesn't value donations or give tax advice — and closes with acknowledgment-letter
requirements, an ethics/conflicts-of-interest clause, and a provision that only the Board of
Commissioners can grant exceptions.
On a motion made by Commissioner Corchiarino, seconded by Commissioner Wilson,
the Board unanimously agreed to approve Addendum #1 to the County’s Procurement Policy
#400-010 and replace the County’s Donation Policy with a new Donation and Sponsorship
Policy #400-011, both to be effective July 14, 2026.
