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.
