Information

Agenda Item Text:

Adopt Resolution 21-24, approving Cochise Health & Social Services Reproductive Health Clinic Fees and Sliding Fee Scale, effective upon passage of the resolution.
 

Background:

Currently, in accordance with our grant, we can only provide reproductive health services to individuals whose income level is at 150% or below the federal poverty level. In order to open up our reproductive health services to our entire community in Cochise County, particularly those that make above 150% of the federal poverty level, our funding source requires a sliding fee scale to be in place.

Date of proposal for the sliding fee schedule was at the Board of Supervisors work session on 6/15/21

Date that public notice of sliding fee schedule was posted on the Cochise County website: 10/12/21

Date that the public notice was published in the newspaper: 11/24/2021
 

Department's Next Steps (if approved):

If approved the sliding fees will be implemented in our health clinics for reproductive health services.

Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:

We will be unable to provide reproductive health services in rural areas for those who are 150% above the poverty level.
