TITLE XII PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE
Chapter 190 Emergency Services
Section 190.809. Amount due, determination--notification procedure--offset permitted, when--quarterly adjustment of tax permitted.

190.809. 1. The director of the department of social services shall make a determination as to the amount of ambulance service reimbursement allowance tax due from each ambulance service.

2. The director of the department of social services shall notify each ambulance service of the annual amount of its reimbursement allowance tax on or before the first day of October each year. Such amount may be paid in monthly increments over the balance of the reimbursement allowance tax period, as set forth in subsection 1 of section 190.821.

3. The department of social services is authorized to offset the federal reimbursement allowance tax owed by an ambulance service against any MO HealthNet payment due such ambulance service, if the ambulance service requests such an offset. The amounts to be offset shall result, so far as practicable, in withholding from the ambulance service an amount substantially equivalent to the assessment to be due from the ambulance service. The office of administration and state treasurer are authorized to make any fund transfers necessary to execute the offset.

4. The department of social services may adjust the tax rate quarterly on a prospective basis. The department of social services may adjust more frequently for individual ambulance services if there is a substantial and statistically significant change in their service provider characteristics. The department of social services may define such adjustment criteria by rule.
