BUDGET ORDINANCE IMPACT
Increase the revenue account labeled Departmental Chargebacks, 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 services in FY16-17. Due to this increase, the department has used several contracted providers to assist in meeting the demands, such as American Alternatives, Carolina Specialty Transport and GEMS. In order to cover the additional expenses, we are requesting to appropriate some of the funds from the Departmental Chargebacks account, which are additional revenues received over and above the amount that was budgeted. The Departmental Chargeback account is projecting to have an excess in revenues of $450,000. Therefore, we would like to appropriate $175,000 for additional transportation.
