WHEREAS, the Board held a public hearing on September 19, 2006, on the issuance of the Bonds (as defined below) in accordance with the requirements of Section 15.2-2606, Code of Virginia (1950), as amended (the "Virginia Code"); and
WHEREAS, the School Board of the County has requested by resolution the Board to authorize the issuance of the Bonds and has consented to the issuance of the Bonds; and
WHEREAS, the objective of the Virginia Public School Authority (the "VPSA") is to pay the County a purchase price for the Bonds which, in VPSA's judgment, reflects the Bonds' market value (the "VPSA Purchase Price Objective"), taking into consideration such factors as the amortization schedule the County has requested for the
Bonds, the amortization schedules requested by other localities, the purchase price to be received by VPSA for its bonds and other market conditions relating to the sale of VPSA's bonds; and
WHEREAS, such factors may result in requiring the County to accept a discount, given the VPSA Purchase Price Objective and market conditions, under which circumstance the proceeds from the sale of the Bonds received by the County will be less than the amount set forth in paragraph 1 below;

AND PROTECTION" BY ADDING ARTICLE VII ENTITLED
"AMBULANCE COST RECOVERY"

WHEREAS, the provisions of public safety services is a primary responsibility of the County; and

WHEREAS, the Ambulance Fee Cost Recovery program will enhance fire and rescue service in the County; and

WHEREAS, the Board believes the Ambulance Cost Recovery program is necessary and in the public’s best interest;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Stafford County Board of Supervisors on this the 19th day of September, 2006, that Chapter 12 of the Stafford County Code entitled "Fire Prevention and Protection" be amended and reordained by adding Article VII entitled "Ambulance Cost Recovery" to read as follows:

Sec.12-81. Cost reimbursement for ambulance service.

(a) Reasonable fees, reviewed annually as a part of the county budget process, shall be charged for emergency medical transport services provided by the department. The revenue recovery program is intended to pursue reimbursement for EMS ambulance transports by recovering funds that may already be designated for the purpose.

(b) The following definitions shall apply to emergency medical transport charges:

(1) Basic Life Support (BLS) means services shall be medical treatment or procedures provided to a patient as defined by the National Emergency Medicine Services (EMS) Education and Practice Blueprint for the Emergency Medical Technician (EMT)-Basic.

(2) Advanced Life Support level 1 (ALS-1) means services shall be medical treatment or procedures provided to a patient beyond the scope of an EMT-Basic as defined by the National EMS Education and Practice Blueprint.

(3) Advanced Life Support level 2 (ALS-2) means services shall be defined as advanced life support (ALS) services provided to a patient including any of the following medical procedures:

a. Manual defibrillation/cardioversion,
b. Endotracheal intubation,
c. Central venous line,
d. Cardiac pacing,
e. Chest decompression,
f. Surgical airway,
g. Intraosseous line, or
h. Administration of three (3) or more medications.

(4) Ground Transport Mile (GTM): Emergency demand zones are established by the Fire and Rescue Chief. Transportation fees shall be assessed per statute mile from the location of the incident scene, or from the center point of the emergency demand zone, if applicable, where an incident scene or address is located, to a hospital or other facility where a patient is transported.

Sec. 12-82. Fees.

(a) The schedule of rates for emergency ambulance transport services by the Stafford County Fire and Rescue Department EMS system shall be based on a schedule which will be developed and reviewed yearly to maintain compliance within the allowances established by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

(b) The Stafford County Fire and Rescue Chief is hereby authorized and directed to establish rules and regulations for the administration and collection of the charges imposed by this section.

(c) Fees for emergency medical transport services shall be charged per patient transported for services rendered and transportation provided, as initially set and reviewed annually:

TABLE INSET:

BLS $350.00
ALS-1 $450.00
ALS-2 $550.00

(d) Transportation fees: Eight Nine dollars ($9.00) per GTM

Sec. 12-83. Billing.

(a) A bill will be generated for ambulance transports conducted by all ambulances utilized by Stafford County Fire and Rescue Department and agencies, vehicles operated or maintained by Stafford County or permitted to Stafford County. Fees collected will be used by the Stafford County Fire and Rescue Department to provide emergency services staffing and expenses related to the provision of EMS.

(b) Patients will fall into one of the following categories for billing purposes:

(1) Insured, county resident or non-resident. The appropriate insurance carrier will be billed.

(2) Uninsured county residents. The Stafford County Compassionate Billing Policy provides for waiver of emergency transport fees for eligible uninsured patients. A statement showing zero balance will be sent to any patient qualifying for such waiver.

(3) Uninsured non-residents. A bill will be sent to the patient transported. If the individual has the ability to pay, then payment is expected in full. If the patient can demonstrate financial hardship in accordance with the compassionate billing policy, they may qualify for waiver of fees.

(4) Internal Services. There are instances when a bill is generated in which the county would be merely transferring funds from one department's budget to another to satisfy the bill. For example, when an on-duty county employee is transported for a compensable workers' compensation injury, the employee's department is responsible for payment of those expenses. The billing contractor will update its records to reflect such adjustment. For accounting purposes, inter-departmental transfers (IDT's) will not be required when an internal bill is generated. However, designated personnel will notify the county's billing contractor that the bill generated is internal to the county in those circumstances to ensure proper record keeping. [Note: If the workers' compensation claim is denied, the employee's health insurance will be billed.] When an inmate of the regional jail is transported, the regional jail is responsible for the bill. The Commonwealth of Virginia will be billed for transports of state inmates in the judicial system.

(5) Contractual write offs. The bills that Medicaid, Medicare, and insurance companies pay on behalf of an insured individual are sometimes adjusted to pay only a portion of the billed amount. This adjustment referred to here as a "contractual write off" is usually due to the laws governing the payment amount or through agreements between the insurance companies and billing entity. The contractual write offs are not considered unpaid balances, and will not be billed to patients.

Sec. 12-84. Compassionate billing policy.

(1) No one will EVER be denied necessary medical transport service due to either their inability to pay or a lack of insurance.

(2) All consumers of ambulance services will be asked, in writing, to provide information regarding available insurance coverage. All consumers of ambulance services will receive written notification of the value of services received and notice of billing forwarded to their insurer(s).

(3) Compassionate billing is intended to eliminate or minimize out-of-pocket expenses for ambulance services received by county residents. The County regards taxes paid by our residents as inclusive of co-pays and/or deductibles for ambulance service for all persons living in a taxpaying household. Elderly or disabled residents qualifying for real estate tax relief pursuant to County ordinance shall be deemed qualified for relief from any deductible or co-pay for ambulance services received.

(4) Any resident lacking health insurance may submit a waiver request form stating a financial hardship.
