Wilson, City Manager PREPARED BY: Patrick McIntosh, Fire Chief SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. 2012-61 revising the City's Emergency Medical Services Fee Schedule Statement of Issue: The Fire Department is requesting approval to adjust user fees to improve and/or maintain the Department's emergency medical services. Financial Impact: Not applicable. Recommended Action: Motion to: Adopt Resolution No. 2012-61 , "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Setting Advanced Life Support, Basic Life Support, Emergency Ambulance Transportation, Medications and Specialized Supply Fees to be Charged by the Fire Department of the City of Huntington Beach. Alternative Action(s): 1) Hold the Public Hearing and adopt only a portion of the fees. 2) Do not adopt any of the recommended fees. Analysis: FireMed emergency medical service user fees were last reviewed and approved by the City Council in March 2012. At that time, the change coincided with the fee schedule of the Orange County Emergency Medical Services Agency (OCEMSA) to recover operating costs for emergency ambulance service, which they had not increased since 2009. The user fees help offset expenditures that provide the following benefits to the community: • Improved emergency medical services • CPR training for FireMed Program members • Ambulance Program operating costs • Medical Quality Assurance Program, which oversees firefighter paramedic training and certification • Emergency medical treatment and transportation supplies and medications • State of the art paramedic and ambulance equipment Item 15. - 1 xB -706- REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 9/17/2012 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: FD 009 City Ordinance Section 8.68.110 allows revenues derived from the FireMed Program to be used to improve and maintain the City's emergency medical services. The proposed fee adjustment revenues will be placed in the General Fund, allowing the Fire Department to recover the increased costs associated with providing exemplary emergency medical service to the community. This reduces impacts, such as: • Uncompensated supply and medication costs resulting from restrictive Medicare and Medical fee schedules (representing 59% of patients treated by the Fire Department) • Higher costs for emergency supplies and medications created by nationwide shortages and increased cost of raw materials • Additional training costs to accommodate new OCEMSA policies which allow more intensive patient treatments • Compliance with state-of-the-art medical procedures and electronic reporting technologies producing additional instructional and equipment expenses REVISION TO EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES FEE The resolution, shown as Attachment 1, includes the user fee schedule proposed by staff for approval by the City Council. A Notice of Public Hearing (Attachment 2) has been published. This fee schedule represents adjustments for: 1) Emergency Transportation and 2) Medications and Specialized Supplies. For Fiscal Year 2012/13, these adjustments will provide approximately $50,000 of additional general fund revenue to offset the cost of providing quality emergency medical services to the community. 1) Adjustments to Emergency Transportation Rates To match rates allowed for private ambulance service in Orange County and to recover operating costs, staff proposes to adjust existing emergency transportation fees to coincide with the OCEMSA emergency basic life support ambulance rates overall adjustment of 2.7%. This was authorized by the County of Orange Board of Supervisors, effective July 1, 2012 (Attachment 3). These rates establish the maximum rate schedule for all private ambulance ground transportation services in Orange County. Current and proposed Huntington Beach emergency transportation fees are equal to the approved Orange County ambulance rates, as shown in Table 1 that follows. Analysis (continued): Table 1: Current and Proposed Rates for Ambulance Program Fees TYPE OF CHARGE HBFD CURRENT OCEMSA HBFD % Change Effective 7/ 1112 PROPOSED Emergency BLS Basic Rate $ 698.22 $717.07 $717.07 2.7 % (Transportation) Mileage $16.11 $16.54 $16.54 2.7 % Oxygen with mask/cannula $78.99 $81.12 $81.12 2.7 % Expendable Medical Supplies $31.18 $32.02 $32.02 2.7 % inclusive for disposable items (Vote: OCEMSA determined the rate adjustments by applying the Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange County"All Items" Consumer Price Index multiplied by 150% to offset costs associated with salary, equipment, training, communications equipment, fuel, maintenance/repair, ambulance replacement, etc. HB -707- Item 15. - 2 REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 9/17/2012 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: FD 009 2) Medications and Specialized Supplies Schedule A (included in the attached resolution) is updated with the current inventory used to provide emergency medical services. It includes the items approved by OCEMSA which are needed for innovative patient treatment procedures and state-of-the-art technology. Pricing fluctuates based on new technology, lower cost alternatives, increased cost of raw materials, nationwide shortages and inventory control. All medications and specialized supplies were reviewed for cost variability and are priced at the current actual cost of recovery plus administrative processing. Compared to the last fee resolution, City staff proposes a 1% increase for medications and a 6% increase in fees for specialized supplies, as listed in Schedule A. In summary, the new rate schedule permits the City's emergency medical service programs to maintain and enhance service while reducing economic impacts on the General Fund. Staff recommends the adoption of the revised rate structure contained in the attached resolution. A PowerPoint presentation is included as Attachment 4. Environmental Status: None. Strategic Plan Goal: Maintain public safety. Attachment(s): 0 6 - • • 1.
