A.
Legislative intent.
(1)
The New Jersey State Department of Health has issued
licensure for the Township of Plainsboro Emergency Medical Services
Program administered by the Township of Plainsboro, Division of Police;
(2)
The Program has been in operation providing experience
and statistics regarding the service and the patients served;
(3)
The Division of Police applied for a provider number
from the federal and state Medicare/Medicaid Programs, enabling the
Township of Plainsboro to institute the third-party payment plan (the
"Payment Plan"); and
(4)
Most residents have an insurance plan or Medicare/Medicaid
which provides payments to relieve their payment obligations.
B.
The third-party payment plan is hereby established
in accordance with the Health Care Finance Administration Guidelines
(HCFA) so that recipients of ambulance services will not be responsible
for copayments, and those individuals not having insurance will not
be responsible for any costs.
