Administrator C
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The clerk position is the only clerical support for a unit of 10 employees. Duties of the position include: screening
clients prior to opening at the Childrens' Clinics to ensure they do not have private insurance and checking for
linkages to Medi-Cal; working the out-of-county Medi-Cal report; screening the clients that were seen at CSU the day
before for insurance and Medi-Cal; maintaining the data base for eligibility verifications; processing the medication
billing for the clients at the Crestwood facilities; answering the outside line, and providing back up for the Access
line. The Patient Financial Services Specialist position is needed to help consumers in attaining and retaining
benefits that cover the cost of Mental Health Services. Duties of the position include: Interviewing patients to
identify sources of payment on accounts including possible eligibility for various programs; assisting patients in the
completion of applications for various health coverage programs; and educating patients regarding available options
to reimburse the County for health care services. The HSA - C position is vacant and no longer needed. It is being
cancelled to help offset the cost of these two new positions.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to approve this action could result in diminished productivity of the unit which will affect the ability of
Mental Health to recieve reimbursement for services provided.
