Billing and EMT Training Fund Billing

Date: 09/29/17

Students registering for Emergency Medical Technician training are generally required to pre-pay tuition monies for the program prior to class start. Payment is accepted via major credit card, check, cash, or PAYPAL prior to start of the program. LSIS will accept a limited number of EMT Training Fund students into Emergency Medical Technician courses, and only from agencies already consuming other services from Less Stress Instructional Services. When students are accepted into the program using EMT Training Fund as their payment method the student shall not be required to pay any additional monies for tuition. The EMT Training Fund student will be expected to acquire or purchase the current manual/materials required for the training program. The student will be required to bring his EMT Training Fund form, signed in ink by the designee of the Training Fund Eligible Agency, to the first day of class. Photocopies of the Training Fund Form shall not be accepted. Refunds: Students can withdraw from the course in writing and request refund in full of all tuition payments any time prior to Session 2 of the program. This policy is to accommodate the student who commits monies to the program but realizes upon attending the first session that it is not in his/her best interest to continue. After the second session the student is deemed fully committed to the course and no refunds will be issued to students. Once received course materials such as student manuals are not refundable under any circumstances. Academic Performance Drops: Students who are unsuccessful at maintaining the required scores in written and psychomotor evaluations and are dropped from the EMT program shall be permitted to attend another EMT program starting within 12 months of the conclusion of their original EMT training program at no cost. Students shall be expected to bring previously purchased course materials or purchase new course materials if the materials were updated since their last attendance. A student shall receive this additional no-cost seat at an EMT course only once. Should the student be dropped from the program due to academic performance a second time the student shall be required to pay tuition for the third attempt at Emergency Medical Technician training. EMT Training Fund Billing: The Programs Coordinator and Programs Director shall be responsible for billing the EMT Training Fund according to specifications in the Emergency Medical Training Fund P. L. 1992, c143 as amended and all related rules and regulations. EMT Training Fund billing shall be conducted utilizing current forms (currently EMS-53) and on the following schedule: Student Completing Through Session 12 $187.50 Student Completing Through Session 23 $375.00 Student Completing Through Session 36 $562.50 Student Completing Through Session 46 $750.00 Under no circumstance shall a student be billed to the EMT Training Fund unless a properly completed EMT Training Fund Form as specified above has been received. The EMS-53 form and copies of the EMT Training Fund forms shall be sent to the Office of EMS for processing. Copies of the EMS-53 and the original EMT Training Fund billing forms shall be filed with each course record.
