Background:
Since 2016, Alachua County has participated in the Florida PEMT Fee for Service Reimbursement program. The supplemental funding was established to help close the gap between costs incurred to provide services and revenue received for each emergency medical transport provided to a Medicaid fee for service patient. This was the first step to address the challenge of current Medicaid reimbursement rates.
The State fiscal year Fee for Service 2021-2022 reimbursement is $224,303.00. This requires an allocation of $26,917.00 for the assistance to complete the program requirements and collect the additional revenue which is a 12% payment for the Fee for Service component. Staff recommends the remaining $197,386.00 be allocated to cover additional costs for sewer line connection at the Fire Rescue Training Facility, previously the Tax Collector’s building, and other Fire Rescue sustainment projects.
On October 26,2021, the Board approved the allocation of $100,000.00 from the Managed Care reimbursement for a Fire Rescue Master and Strategic Plan. Since this was approved, the County is moving forward with the operational and efficiency study for Fire Rescue which will include most aspects of the master/strategic plan. Because of this, staff recommends the reallocation of the funds to cover the unanticipated costs of the sewer line connection for the Fire Rescue training facility which was previously the Tax Collector’s building.
