BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AGENDA REQUEST DATE: August 19, 2014 TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board FROM: Elliot Kampert SUBJECT: Medicaid Amendment 7 DEPARTMENT: Growth Management BCC DISTRICT: ALL STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The Department of Growth Management requests the Board to approve Amendment No.7 to the agreement with the Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged (CTD) for reimbursement of Medicaid Non-Emergency Transportation (NET) services. BACKGROUND: The Board approved the Commission for the Disadvantaged Medicaid Non- Emergency Transportation Program Agreement on January 20, 2009. Effective August 1, 2014 for Okaloosa County, the Florida Legislature established the Managed Medical Assistance (MMA) program as part of the Statewide Medicaid Care program in Part IV of Chapter 409, Florida Statutes. The MMA program requires Managed Care Organizations to provide covered services to Medicaid recipients enrolled in managed care plans. Not all Medicaid recipients are covered. The Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged (CTD), through its Subcontracted Transportation Providers (STPs), will provide transportation to those excluded from the MMA. On May 6, 2014, the Board of County Commissioners authorized and signed Amendment No. 6 to the Medicaid Agreement which funded program through August 31, 2014. The attached Agreement is effective September 1 and extends it through December 31, 2014. The County will be paid using a per- member per-month (PMPM) rate for categories listed in the agreement. No Local Funds are required to receive Medicaid NET compensation from the CTD. RECOMMENDATION: The Department of Growth Management requests the Board to approve Amendment No.7 to the agreement with the Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged (CTD) for reimbursement of Medicaid Non-Emergency Transportation (NET) services.
