BUDGET ORDINANCE IMPACT
Increase the revenue accounts labeled Medicaid Transportation-Federal and State, which are revenues received for Medicaid Transportation services, within the ACCESS Transportation budget in the amount of $175,000 and appropriate $175,000 into the Transportation of Clients account.
BACKGROUND
The Community Transportation Program (ACCESS) has experienced an increase in demand for Stretcher services provided by GEMS in FY21-22. In order to cover the additional expenses, we are requesting to appropriate additional funds that are reimbursed at 100% from Federal and State revenues. Therefore, we would like to appropriate $175,000 for additional transportation services. No additional County funds required.
