The Los Angeles County Department of Health Services is proposing to increase the Physician Services for Indigents Program (PSIP) Emergency Room reimbursement rate to 10.5 percent of the Official County Fee Schedule from the current 9 percent, based on the projected revenue available for the program and the projected claims. This rate increase will be effective for claims submitted for the Fiscal Year 2014-15 (July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015 services).

A public hearing will be held as part of the Emergency Medical Services Commission meeting at the EMS Agency on Wednesday, Sept. 17, 1 p.m. at the EMS Agency Office in Santa Fe Springs.
