Background:
The Fifth Amendment of the Medical Examiners Three Party Agreement between Alachua County, the University of Florida Board of Trustees and William F. Hamilton, M.D. for the provision of District Medical Examiner Services, University Physician Support Services, University Non-Physician Support Services and Facility use.
Chapter 406 of the Florida Statutes requires the Board of County Commissioners in each Medical Examiner's District to establish and pay reasonable salaries, fees and expenses to the District Medical Examiner and his/her associates.
The Medical Examiner Agreement delineates the responsibilities of each of the three parties previously mentioned in relation to the performance of mandated autopsy services. The Medical Examiner and the University of Florida College of Medicine submit a budget annually to the County for Administrative costs (see
Attachment A) that include salaries and benefits, transportation, facility costs, etc.
$730,740.84 for these expenses. The costs associated with autopsies (see Attachment C) are separate and rate based and require reimbursement, per the mandate.
