BUDGET ORDINANCE IMPACT
Increase Federal revenues by $67,000 and State revenues by $33,000 to appropriate $100,000 into ACCESS Transportation of Clients account.
BACKGROUND
The Community Transportation Program (ACCESS) has experienced an increase in demand for contracted services. Due to this increase, the department has used several contracted providers to assist in meeting the demands, such as American Alternatives, Carolina Specialist and GEMS. These costs are billed directly to Medicaid through the NCTracks system. In order to cover the additional expenses, we are requesting to appropriate additional revenue funds, which will be received over and above the amount that was budgeted. This cost is reimbursed at 100%.
