Agenda Item Number <br /> <br />ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH <br />AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY <br /> <br />Meeting Date: February 22, 2017 <br /> <br />Agenda Item Subject: FY 2017-18 Fee Schedule <br /> <br />Attachment(s): Fee Schedule & Requested Changes <br /> <br />Staff/Board Member Reporting: Dr. Colleen Bridger, Health Director <br /> <br />Purpose/Recommended Action: ___ Action/Approve <br /> _x_ Action/Approve & forward to Board of Commissioners <br /> ___ Information with possible action <br /> ___ Accept as information <br /> ___ Revise & schedule for future action <br /> <br />Summary Information: <br /> <br />In reviewing Health Department fee schedules, which are done on an annual basis, the <br />Department would like to make multiple fee changes in Personal Health, add a fee in Dental <br />Health, and continue with Phase III of the planned fee increases in the Environmental Health <br />division. The proposed changes are detailed below: <br /> <br />Personal Health <br /> <br />Personal Health requests fee increases for three child health fees required by NCDHHS and <br />Medicaid and scheduled adjustments to our fees for 340B drugs (Family Planning drugs not <br />including birth control pills) to make them match the county’s cost to purchase them, as <br />required by the state and federal government. This will have very little impact on both the <br />department and patients as only 10% of self-pay patients pay more than $0 for Family <br />Planning drugs or procedures and of that 10% we had no patients in prior years that have had <br />to pay 100% of the cost. <br /> <br />Personal Health Fee Changes <br />Name of Fee 2016-17 Rate 2017-18 Proposed <br />Rate <br />Anticipated Revenue from <br />Fee Change <br />Adolescent Risk <br />Screening <br />NEW $9.20 $1,398.40 <br />Maternal <br />Depression <br />Screening <br />NEW $9.20 $1,398.40 <br />Social Screen NEW $6.00 $1,398.40 <br />Depo Provera $25.30 $24.00 ($39.00)
