The proposed rate and fee adjustments will maintain response levels and activity in the Fire Department. Revision to FireMed Emergency.Medical Services Fee Schedule Resolution 2005 - !�,R (Attachment 1) includes the user fee schedule proposed by staff for approval by the City Council. A Notice of Public Hearing (Attachment 2) was published. This schedule represents fees for ambulance transportation, Basic and Advanced Life Support services, supplies and medications, membership rates, and emergency medical assessment effective August 3, 2005. Adjustment to Ambulance Program Rates To recover operating costs, staff proposes to adjust existing Ambulance Program fees to coincide with the OCEMSA ground ambulance service rates adjustment authorized by the County of Orange Board of Supervisors, effective July 1, 2005 (Attachment 3). Current and proposed Huntington Beach Fire Department ambulance rates are compared with the approved Orange County ambulance rates in Table 1 that follows. Table 1: Current and Proposed Rates for Ambulance Pro ram Fees TYPE OF CHARGE HBFD OCEMSA RATE HBFD CURRENT Effective 711105 PROPOSED Emergency BLS Basic Rate (transportation) $ 531.75 $ 581.50 $ 581.50 Milea a 13.00 13.25 13.25 Oxygen includes mask or cannula 63.00 65.50 65.50 Standby (per 15 min. after first 15 min. 31.00 31.00 31.00 Expendable Medical Supplies (inclusive fee for 23.50 25.75 25.75 various disposable items FD05 007 FireMed Emerg Med Svcs Fee Schedule.doc -3- 7/5/2005 1:53 PM REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: August 1, 2005 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: FD 05-007 Analysis (continued) To determine rate adjustments, OCEMSA annually reviews the allowable ground emergency ambulance rates for San Bernardino County, Los Angeles County and the City of San Diego. OCEMSA utilizes this data to calculate the median rate rounded to the nearest twenty-five cents, and presents it to the County of Orange Board of Supervisors for approval. This year, rates increased by 8.3% overall. From revenue collected for ambulance transportation on emergency medical incidents, the Ambulance Program transfers $181,000 annually to the General Fund for related support services provided to this program by the City. Supplies and Medications Staff also proposes an overall decrease of 9.1% in the FireMed User Fee Schedule A for Advanced Life Support Supplies and Medications. These materials, used by the paramedics for patient treatment during emergency medical responses, are being adjusted due to purchasing costs that have increased and decreased in the past year, as well as due to changes in procedures and standards required by OCEMSA. Supplies and medications are priced at actual cost recovery plus administrative processing. In summary, the new rate schedule permits the City's emergency medical service programs to maintain current levels of service while reducing impacts on the General Fund. Staff recommends the adoption of the revised rate structure contained in the attached resolution. Environmental Status: None. Attachment(s): City Clerk's Page Number No. I Description 1.
