§ 4.602. General Purposes and Intent of Sections 4.601—4.605.

It is the purpose of these sections:

(1)

To establish a regulated ambulance service system which can provide state-of-the-art clinical quality of care, with reasonable, reliable response time standards, and with the goal of furnishing the best possible chance of survival, without disability or preventable complication, to each ambulance patient.

(2)

To establish a sole-provider ambulance system, because it is unreasonable to have unnecessarily high rates and/or unnecessarily high public subsidy to make needed improvements to ambulance service in the service area, when a more efficiently designed system can achieve the same results at lower cost. The most efficient design to achieve the goals of high-quality service, at the lowest cost, consistent with the quality of care required, is the implementation of the system described herein.
