Agenda Item Text:
Approve IGA# HG854282, Amendment #2, Immunization Program, between the Arizona Department of Health Services and Cochise Health & Social Services, in the annual amount of $86,273, received in two separate purchase orders, for the period of 1/1/12 – 12/31/12.
Background:
CHSS has received funds for its Immunization Program since 1993 to deliver immunization services to County residents. The State provides the vaccine to us free of charge. The grant funds pay for management, staffing, and operating costs of this program.
Our services, which are free for all uninsured or underinsured children effective 10/1/2012, include: immunizing children against vaccine preventable diseases during the course of their childhood, maintaining their vaccination records in accordance with state and national requirements, and assisting school age children with required vaccinations in order to meet school registration and advancement requirements. The Public Health Nurses at all five Health Department locations conduct regular clinics weekly (which are heavily attended), in addition to monthly evening clinics, year round.
The most recent amendment provided a price sheet which denotes reimbursement rates per visit. The total expected amount available for payment during this grant year ($86,273) has not changed. This amendment adds to the scope of work by including visiting schools and childcare centers whose immunization rates are below nation averages. The price sheet adds additional rates to include onetime school IDR submittal at$ 250.00 per submittal and $25.00 per follow up visit. The scope of work is open from 08/01/2012 through 12/31/2012. The amendment will increase the rates slightly but exact amounts cannot be determined until individual schools IDR’s are reviewed and schools have been contacted.
