Dear Chief Curran;
Thank you for ~iving us the opportunity to be of service ro Po~ Arthur. I'd like to clarify
some op,:rstional and billing procedures concerning First Response billing and Hazmat
billing.
1. No citizens will be billed for these senrices, nor will the City be billed for any
incidents, nor will the City's insurance companies be billed for any incidents.
2, Medicare and Medicaid are not double billed. It's against the law to double bill
Medicare and Medicaid. The ambulance provider bills M~ticare and Medicaid for
transports. First Respons- bills liability carriers.
3. First Response billing is rendered primarily to the auto liability earri~r for tbe st
fault party. In single auto responses the auto liability carrier is billed.
4. O~her applicable insurance carriers are billed as the occasion m~ndates, such as
property liability carrier~.
5. Corporate I/ability carders and the self-insured corporations themselves are quick
to respond to Hazmat clean-up billing.
6. Some other political entities in Texas that bill for First Response, fire, and
Hazmat are:
a~ City of Waco
b. Tmvis County (Austhx, Texas)
c. Brownsville
d. San Antonio
e. Larndo

f. Burkeville
as well as many other municipalities sad political entities all over the USA.
Automobile liabilities policies, properly liability policies, general business liability
policies, and umbrella liabilily policies have clauses that acce~ responsibility for these
incidents. Federal law fixes responsibility on Hazmst cle~n up to the "infractor". If
billing is not rendered to the liability carrier the insurance company just gets a free ride.
IfI can provide any further information or answer any other questions please feel bee'to
contact me immediately. We axe looking forward to working with the City
Adminiat,'ation to maximize the legitimate financial entitlements and reimbursements due
the citizens of Port Arthur
