Health Department Fee Schedule Changes <br /> 8 The Board considered adopting and revising multiple Dental Health and Environmental <br /> 9 Health fees approved by the Board of Health at its January 25, 2017 meeting. <br /> 10 Commissioner Price referred to the fee increase, and asked if the patient will pay more. <br /> 11 Colleen Bridger said patients are charged on a sliding fee scale, and those who slide <br /> 12 above the minimum payment will pay a higher fee based on the percent of that fee. She said <br /> 13 this is one reason why the health department did not use the customary charges that are seen <br /> 14 in the area. <br /> 15 Commissioner Price asked if a fee was charged previously. <br /> 16 Colleen Bridger said these are new services. <br /> 17 Commissioner Price asked if there will be a PSA about well water, due to the increase. <br /> 18 Colleen Bridger said there can be an announcement. She said this fee was added as <br /> 19 NPR ran a story about naturally occurring hexavalent chromium, and a handful of residents <br /> 20 asked for their well water to be tested. <br /> 21 Commissioner Price said she has no problem with the fee, but wants to know if the <br /> 22 public at large are being made aware that it is possible for the well water to be tested. <br /> 23 Colleen Bridger said such an announcement can absolutely be made. <br /> 24 <br /> 25 A motion was made by Commissioner Price, seconded by Commissioner Burroughs to <br /> 26 adopt and revise multiple Dental Health and Environmental Health fees approved by the Board <br /> 27 of Health at its January 25, 2017 meeting. <br /> 28 <br /> 29 VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 30 <br /> 31 a.
