and .billing for both psychosocial rehab (Club Nova) and Assertive <br />Community Treatment Team services (ACTT). Given that the clubhouse <br />model is based on an assumption that membership is lifelong regardless of <br />payor source, this means that for those consumers who choose to stay with <br />their ACTT team rather than the clubhouse, but continue to attend the <br />clubhouse every day, there will be a loss of revenue. Club Nova believes <br />that this will be approximately $75,000 per year. There is no evidence to <br />suggest that DMH, DMA or CMS is considering changes to this rule, so this <br />will be an on-going funding issue for providers of these two services. <br />It would be OPC's expectation that Club Nova Community, Inc. will continue <br />their efforts to establish a private donor base, maximize funding opportunities <br />for other services provided, and staff according to their resource availability, <br />all of which will stabilize their system in the long term. It is noted that while <br />SFY06-07 was a very difficult year for all providers, OPC staff have been <br />impressed with Club Nova Community's attention to fiscal issues and overall <br />responsible, efficient & effective management of what is essentially a new <br />service program. <br />As always, thank you for your continued support of the public mental health <br />system, and please do not hesitate to call should you need any further <br />information. <br />• Page 2 <br />
