This arrangement is similar to <br />the one with IJNC-Hospitals. Piedmont Health Services, Inc. reimburses the County's <br />share of the salary, benefits, and other necessary expenses for the site based caseworker. <br />However, the indirect cost is waived since the County is required to provide Medicaid <br />assistance on site at federally sponsored rural health clinics. This Agreement benefits the <br />County and Piedmont Health Services, Inc. <br />Fiscal Impact Statement: Piedmont Health Services, Inc. reimburses the County for <br />100% of the direct costs associated with the on site caseworker position. <br />Recommendation: The Manager recommends approval of the Agreement with <br />Piedmont Health Services, Inc. and authorization for the Chair to sign the Agreement. <br />
