Consent Agenda Subject : 7.8 Contract for Health Services between the School Board of Okaloosa County and Pediatric Services of America (PSA) for 2013-2014, presented by Lois Handzo, Program Director of Student Intervention Services, and recommended by the Superintendent for approval. Meeting : Jul 8, 2013 - Regular Meeting Type : Action (Consent) Preferred Date : Jul 08, 2013 Fiscal Impact : Yes Dollar Amount : $930,728.06 Budgeted : Yes Budget Source : Combination of Schools' Discretionary funds (School District funds) and Medicaid funds Recommended Action : Motion to approve the Contract for Health Services between the School Board of Okaloosa County and Pediatric Services of America (PSA) for 2013-2014. Public Content This is a contract with Pediatric Services of America (PSA Health Care) to continue to provide contracted school health services to the schools in Okaloosa County for the 2013-2014 school year, which also includes ESY for 2014. Mr. McInnis has reviewed this document and made minor changes that have been incorporated and approved by PSA. Mr. Palmer and I discussed the insurance section, which has not changed from last year. Ms. Scallan has reviewed and approved the financial piece. The contract will increase by $80,805.51 from the 2012-2013 contract. This includes an administrative fee increase from 32% to 35%. The hourly rate for Health Technicians, Licensed Practical Nurses and Registered Nurses at the schools remain the same as the 2012-2013 contract. The hourly rate for Registered Nurse Supervisors increased from $19.00/hour to $19.57/hour. The Registered Nurse Program Coordinator's hourly rate increases from $21.00/hour to $21.63/hour. Additionally, it had been difficult to fully cover clinics with part time substitutes. Therefore, the 2013-2014 contract provides for 3 full time Health Technician substitutes, which accounts for $48,881.64 of the increase. When these substitutes cover clinics due to absences by the regular health technicians, the regular health technicians will not be paid that day. If the clinics are fully staffed with regular staff and a substitute is not needed, these additional health technicians will assist in schools with high need. Therefore, it is anticipated that the full amount of the increase will not be used. The budget is an estimate dependent on the number of actual clinic positions requested by the District. Additionally, PSA and the School District have agreed in this contract to renegotiate the contract if the Affordable Care Act guidelines are added to or change that would necessitate the need to increase funding.
