Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee ,
(Patrick Godley) , to execute on behalf of the County, Standard
Contract #23-146-3 with Jennifer Loomis and Associates, Inc. , for the

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.
On January 11, 1994 , the Board of Supervisors approved Standard
Contract #23-146-2 with Jennifer Loomis & Associates, Inc. Approval
of Standard Contract #23-146-3 will allow the Contractor to provide
services for calendar year 1995.
