Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve ADHS IGA#13-036322, STD Services, between the Arizona Department of Health Services and Cochise Health & Social Services, in the amount of $2,271 for the period of 1/1/13 – 12/31/13.
Background:
Cochise Health & Social Services (CHSS) has received funds from the ADHS for many years to provide screening, laboratory testing, treatment, and follow-up for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) primarily Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, and Syphilis. Through this contract CHSS is funded to ensure availability of STD care, treatment and services to our community.
These grant funds primarily subsidize the cost for the laboratory testing and treatment regimens for STDs. General Funded nursing staff provide these services based on a sliding fee schedule. The Nursing Division will continue to use ingenuity and fees collected in the provision of care as sources of funding to avoid an impact on the General Fund budget in order to continue providing these services. The CHSS Director will inform the Board, in advance, of the time when these fees are no longer adequate or the impact on General Funds becomes unsupportable.
This amendment deletes in its entirety, Uniform Terms and Conditions, Page Three (3), Provision Three (3), Contract Administration and Operation, Item 3.3, Non-Discrimination, and replaces it with the following: Non-Discrimination. The Contractor shall comply with State Executive Order No. 2009-09 and all other applicable Federal and State laws, rules and regulations, including the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Your approval is respectfully requested.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
Not approving this amendment would increase impact on General Funds, may cause the inability of CHSS to collect reimbursement for STD testing services from the ADHS; and could cause cessation of this important public health service to the community.
