Item No. ?
Amend existing agreement for Provision of Emergency Ambulance
Transportation Services and modify Paramedic Subscription Program
benefits and emergency ambulance transportation services rates
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve an amendment to the existing agreement with MedTrans for Provision
of Emergency Ambulance Transportation Services.
2. Approve a resolution modifying the Paramedic Subscription Program to include
emergency ambulance transportation by Fire and Marine Department personnel
as a member benefit. (Rescinds Resolution 94 -98.)
3. Schedule a public hearing on July 8, 1996, for the review of emergency
ambulance transportation service rates.
DISCUSSION:
• The City of Newport Beach has given MedTrans, the current primary provider, prior
written notice of intent to terminate our existing agreement. MedTrans has agreed to
waive the 60 -day notification period in order to allow the Newport Beach Fire and
Marine Department to initiate emergency transportation services effective July 1, 1996.
Modification of the existing agreement will allow MedTrans to provide BLS ambulance
transportation until a competitive RFP process is completed by the City, which is
estimated to be by August 31, 1996.
The attached resolution will modify the Paramedic Subscription Program to include the
provision of emergency ambulance transportation services as a member benefit. The
fees and charges authorized by the resolution are intended to defray the costs of
providing paramedic and emergency ambulance transportation services within the City
of Newport Beach.
Another proposed modification to the Paramedic Subscription Program is a change in
the definition of a member to include: guests, customers, patrons, visitors or others
using the facilities of a member's household or business. These users will not be
directly charged if they agree to assign any applicable benefits of any insurance policy
to the City for services provided. The Paramedic Subscription Program is a voluntary
program where members can prepay at a fixed price, the uninsured portion of
emergency medical and emergency ambulance transportation services provided by the
Newport Beach Fire and Marine Department. Members do not pay for the Normal
. Charges for emergency medical care and emergency ambulance transportation initiated
within the City.

of the fire engine closest to the call for service; and
WHEREAS, the City of Newport Beach desires to provide

comprehensive EMS system; and
WHEREAS, the City of Newport Beach, through mutual aid
agreements, provides emergency medical services to, and receives
emergency medical services from, nearby public entities such as
Costa Mesa, Irvine and the County of Orange; and
WHEREAS, General Fund revenues currently defray a portion of
the cost of providing emergency medical and paramedic services; and
WHEREAS, informal surveys suggest that 50% of the calls for

WHEREAS, the City of Newport Beach faces significant and long

provide paramedic emergency medical services and emergency

Clarence Turner - Mayor
City of Newport Beach
3300 Newport Boulevard
Newport Beach, CA 92658
Dear Mayor Turner:
DEC 13 1993
r :Er. 01TTOF CH
".
i
This letter is to provide written documentation of my protest and desire for appeal of
the request to award the contract for emergency ambulance transportation services to
Sealson, Inc.
As outlined in the request for proposal, any protest or appeal on the award of the
agreement must be forwarded in writing to the City Council. The written
communication must list the specific areas of protest and suggested remedies.
Issues
The response from Sealson, Inc. in the Costs of Services section of their proposal
violates Federal Anti - kickback sections of the United States Social Security Act. That
Statute provides that whoever knowingly and willfully offers or pays any remuneration
in exchange for the referral of Medi -Care patients is guilty of a crime. The offer from
Sealson, Inc, to provide free transportation of injured city employees is a "per -se"
violation of this Statute.
The response from Sealson, Inc. to provide a substantially different rate for residents
versus non - residents is arguably a violation of Medi -Care Fraud Statutes. By
providing the residents of Newport Beach with a substantially lower price than non-
residents you are requiring the overpayment from Medi -Care to subsidize residents'
discounted fees. Sealons' attempts to justify this by disclaiming that all Medi -Care
patients will only be billed the approved Medi -Care rates. The problem lies with the
many seniors who have assigned their Medi -Care benefits to an HMO plan but still
have the same legal protection afforded standard Medi -Care patients.
Both of these issues were raised during your Pre -bid Conference and all providers
received notification from the Fire Chief that these sections would be removed from
the bid. Appropriately, all other providers left this information out of their bids.
