Information

Agenda Item Text:

Approve Amendment #6 to IGA #YH07-0007-04 between Cochise County and AHCCCS for detention inmate inpatient medical care, extending the contract for the period of 1/1/13 – 12/1/14.

Background:

In January 2007, Cochise County entered into an IGA with AHCCCS to enable the county to tap AHCCCS funds for jail inmates who are (i) AHCCCS-eligible and (ii) require inpatient medical treatment. There are two changes in this amendment, as follows:

1. Extend contract to 12/31/14.
2. Reduce per claim processing fee from $242 to $140 based on projected patient volumes.

Department's Next Steps (if approved):

Your approval is respectfully requested.

Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:

Not approving this IGA renewal could materially boost detainee medical expenses paid by the county general fund.

To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:

BOS signature is not required. A fully executed copy will be sent to the Clerk of the Board for filing purposes.
