'_ <br />Budget Amendment Request-Community Free Clinic Coverage <br /> <br /> Attached is a budget amendment request providing funds to resume a contract we <br />have had with the Community Free Clinic for provision of Medicaid screening at the <br />Clinic by DSS contract employee. Revenues are affected, so I am submitting this for <br />consideration by the BOC. I am requesting that you arrange to have this considered by <br />the BOG at its May meeting. <br /> <br /> During the past year, DSS developed a contract with the Community Free Clinic <br />for coverage of some Clinic services by an Income Maintenance Caseworker whose <br />function has been to screen Clinic patients for Medicaid eligibility. A temp agency <br />worker has been utilized. Under this contract, the Clinic reimburses the Department for <br />the 50% non-federal matching share of costs for 15 hours per week of coverage. Federal <br />Medicaid administrative funding covers the other 50% of cost for this 15 hours per week <br />of coverage. The purpose of this amendment request is to assure aVailability of funds in <br />the DSS budget for the remainder of the current year. <br /> <br />Please let me know of any additional information needed.- <br /> <br />Thank you.
