BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AGENDA REQUEST DATE: December 2, 2014 TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board FROM: Elliot Kampert SUBJECT: Medicaid Amendment 8 and task order 28.8 DEPARTMENT: Growth Management BCC DISTRICT: ALL STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The Department of Growth Management requests Board approval of Amendment No.8 to the agreement with the Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged (CTD) for reimbursement of Medicaid Non-Emergency Transportation (NET) services and for Task Order No. 28.8 for reimbursement of operating costs to Okaloosa County Transit (OCT). BACKGROUND: The Board first 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), provides transportation to those excluded from the MMA. The attached Agreement is effective January 1 through February 28, 2015. 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. Task Order No. 28 amendment No. 8 will allow for the reimbursement of operating costs to OCT to provide NET services for Okaloosa County. RECOMMENDATION: The Department of Growth Management requests the Board to approve Amendment No.8 to the agreement with the Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged (CTD) for reimbursement of Medicaid Non-Emergency Transportation (NET) services, and sign Task Order No. 28 Amendment No. 8 for reimbursement of operating costs to Okaloosa County Transit (OCT).
