After taking over as the city's ambulance provider in 2021, Falck fell short of some contractual obligations. Now, the City of San Diego hopes to change that.
“We are working on becoming a recognized EMS provider that would give the City Fire Department the ability to collect ground emergency transportation reimbursements. These reimbursements would be reinvested to improve EMS service and we would subcontract with multiple EMS providers to make sure we provide the necessary EMS hours for the community,” Gerboth said.
“The Contract requires Falck to provide a monthly median of 900 Advanced Life Support Hours and 108 basic life support hours per day. Since the time of the contract implementation, as you’ve heard many times, Falck has been unable to achieve the required hours within the contract,” Gerboth said.
