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).
