[HISTORY: Adopted by the Mayor and Council of the Borough
of East Rutherford 12-21-2010 by Ord. No. 2010-24. Amendments noted
where applicable.]
The Borough of East Rutherford hereby establishes a third-party
billing plan for the Emergency Squad of the East Rutherford Fire Department
(the "Emergency Squad") to receive payment for providing emergency
medical services to its residents and other persons designated pursuant
to mutual aid agreements with surrounding communities ("EMS Services").
The Mayor and Council shall annually, by resolution, establish
the fees to be charged for EMS Services. Said fees shall be annually
adjusted no later than the first day of March in each year.
A.
The third-party billing plan shall engage in "insurance-only billing"
as it pertains to individual Borough of East Rutherford residents
for whom EMS Services are provided, which means it will accept as
payment only what is paid by the resident's health insurance
plan or Medicare/Medicaid and shall not bill for any deductibles,
copays or other balance due. This policy is established because the
majority of residents in the Borough contribute in some manner to
the tax base of the Borough, which financially supports the Emergency
Squad through the annual budget.
B.
The third-party billing plan reserves the right to bill nonresident
individuals (whether privately or Medicare/Medicaid covered and those
uninsured) for whom EMS Services are provided.
An employee of the Borough designated by the Mayor with the
consent of the Council shall be responsible for the administration
of the plan and shall act in consultation with the Borough Clerk's
office and Chief Financial Officer in that capacity. This employee
shall be called the EMS Billing Coordinator. The EMS Billing Coordinator
shall annually review the EMS Services' cost accounting records
with the Borough's Chief Financial Officer and recommend fees
for EMS Services.
A certified copy of this chapter shall be filed with the applicable
federal and state agencies.
