FY 2007-08 CHALLENGES <br /> • Please describe chal ramx objectives, in FY <br /> 2007-08. How did you work to overcome these obstacles? (If no challenges existed, please write <br /> none.) • <br /> sing Medicaid reimbursement for the services that we provide provide was particularly difficult in 2006-07 As <br /> a result, we lost 75% of our valued staff. in the spring of 2007. In 2007-08 we developed a productivity <br /> model and billing process that is working and allowing us to slowly rebuild our programs. <br /> In July, 2007. after an eleven-year agreement to allow us to occupy our building rent-free, Orange County <br /> Schools requested we pay $25,200 annually for rent. This request put us in a fragile financial position <br /> despite our success at billing Medicaid successfully. <br /> In 2007-08. we researched "best practice" models of mental health services for the age group that <br /> KidSCope services, and who funds them. We were able to get a grant from Children's Trust Fund, and <br /> |ab»r. OPC/LME to fund these services. <br /> AGENCY BUDGET <br /> FY 05-06 FY 06-07 FY 07-08 FY 08-09 <br /> Actual Actual Actual .
