• <br />City of La Porte <br />Emergency <br />Medical <br />Service <br />Interoffice Memo <br />Ta Joseph Sease, Director, Emergency Management <br />Frone Chris Osten, EMS Chief <br />Date: 01/28/02 <br />Re: EMS Billing <br />EMS billing is a subjed we have visited often recently. t have enclosed a new set of billing charges that <br />I recommend council approve. The only changes made are for new drugs and procedures that our Medical <br />Director has implemented. These changes are in color on the attached sheets. I also recommend that if council <br />approves these changes that we put a clause in the new ordinance (a living ordinance if you will) that when our <br />Medical Diredor implements new changes we are able to put the charges into effed immediately. I recommend <br />we have power to esiabtish a price that Medicare accepts and we recognize as fair. ff Medicare does not <br />recognize the charge and insurance companies do than, a charge that is one and one half times the cost of the <br />medication and or procedure and a fair charge for time spent on the procedure. This of course would be with <br />yours and the City Managers approval. Thank you for yourconsideration. <br />
