SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Chair to execute on behalf of the
County, Standard Contract #23-146 with Jennifer Loomis and
Associates Inc. for the period from January 1, 1992 through
December 31, 1992 , to provide billing services for the processing
of out-of-state Medicaid claims.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Contractor will be paid a 25% commission for the amounts
Contractor collects on out-of-state Medicaid claims.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
Periodically, patients are treated at Merrithew Memorial Hospital
and Clinics who are from out-of-state and who may be eligible for
Medicaid benefits in their State of residence. Policies and
regulations governing Medicaid reimbursement are very complex and
vary from State to State, making it difficult, if not impossible,
for the County to pursue reimbursement for care it has rendered
to out-of-state residents.
Jennifer Loomis & Associates, Inc. has the expertise to pursue
and process out-of-state Medicaid claims on behalf of the County,
and will be paid on a commission basis for any amounts it
collects for the County.
