Personal Health <br /> Personal Health requests to adjust multiple fees for vaccines (to reflect the cost to purchase <br /> the vaccines), to add fees to charge for maternal health ultrasounds (will help patients avoid <br /> hospital visits and will be adjusted on a sliding fee scale for self-pay patients), to delete <br /> procedure codes that are no longer used (originally added with specific modifiers as required <br /> by Medicaid Cost Settlement but no longer required), and to add a new MMR and Varicella <br /> vaccine. Finally, the division requests to continue scheduled adjustments to the fees for 340B <br /> drugs (Family Planning drugs not including birth control pills) to make them match the county's <br /> cost to purchase them, as required by the state and federal government. <br /> The total financial impact from Personal Health fee changes is projected to be a maximum of <br /> $13,493.38: <br /> Recommended Motion: <br /> To approve all fee changes for FY 2020-2021 as presented and forward to the Board of <br /> County Commissioners for action. <br />
