Agenda Item Text:
Approve Amendment #1 to IGA YH15-0006-04 between Cochise County and Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) for detention inmate inpatient medical care.
Background:
Over the past nine years through the implementation of agreements with AHCCCS, Cochise County has tapped federal Medicaid dollars to help pay for certain eligible inmate inpatient medical treatments. Changes in this amendment include:
1. A small adjustment in the annual administrative fee from $1,400 to $1,524.
2. An increase in minimum (refundable) cash balance from $5,000 to $10,000.
3. A new addendum governing HIPAA provisions.

Department's Next Steps (if approved):
BOS signature; return IGA to CHSS for processing.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
Not approving the amendment and allowing the contract to lapse could materially boost detainee medical expenses paid by the county general fund.
