Department: Emergency Medical Services
AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of Resolution authorizing the write off of EMS Accounts Receivable,
in the total amount of $288.46.
ITEM BACKGROUND: The attached Resolution requests to write off the balance of the patient account that
is listed on Exhibit A, in the total amount of $288.46.
The patient, Andrius Augustinas, died while on the job; a claim to BellSouth Worker's Comp was filed.
Worker's Comp determined that the patient's death was not work-related, thus they denied the claim. The
patient's insurance paid a portion of the bill leaving a balance of $288.46. The patient's widow has suffered
major financial setbacks, due in part to the patient's medical expenses. The cost to the County to try to recoup
the balance does not seem to be warranted by the amount of the outstanding bill.

A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE
FIRE AND AMBULANCE DISTRICT 1 OF MONROE COUNTY,
FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE WRITE-OFF OF EMS
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
WHEREAS, Monroe County Emergency Medical Services provides ambulance service; and
WHEREAS, attempts to collect the full amount from the service recipients have been made;
and
WHEREAS, it has been determined that further collection efforts are fruitless and would only
incur additional costs to continue to bill the recipient's widow as the insurance coverage afforded said
recipient is not sufficient to cover all recipient's medical damages, and recipient's widow continues to
suffer great financial hardship; now, therefore
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE FIRE AND
AMBULANCE DISTRICT 1 OF MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA:
Service recipient listed on attached Exhibit A accounts receivable in the amount of $288.46 be
deleted from the County's Emergency Medical Services Department accounts receivable list.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Board of Governors of the Fire and Ambulance District 1 of
Monroe County, Florida, at a regular meeting of said Board held on the day of
, 2002.
