IN ,RE: POSITION REQUEST FOR COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH DIVISION TO CAPTURE

TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS:
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, the Michigan Department of Mental Health has won Federal approval
for the broadening of Medicaid (Title XIX) benefits to clients of Community
Mental Health outpatient and day programs in our State; and
WHEREAS, the Oakland County Community Mental Health Services Board
projects approximately $600,000 per year in additional revenue from Medicaid
under the new arrangement, and desires to begin capturing these funds immediately;
and
WHEREAS, the Michigan Department of Mental Health has awarded start-up
funding to the Community Mental Health Services Board equivalent to $90,090 per
year, to enable the Board to add clinical and support staff in order to qualify
for the broadened Medicaid reimbursement program and generate the necessary
billings; and
WHEREAS, this start-up funding is guaranteed by the State of Michigan
against the anticipated additional revenue to be collected by the Community
Mental Health Services Board from Medicaid, which additional revenue would be
used by the Board for continuing funding of the positions added to the Community
Mental Health staff; and
WHEREAS, there would therefore be no additional cost to the County of
Oakland for these positions, and
WHEREAS, the Oakland County Community Mental Health Services Board has
accordingly requested that three Account Clerk I positions, and one Clinical
Psychologist II position, be added to its approved staffing, to enable Community
Mental Health to qualify and bill for broadened Medicaid revenues:
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commis-
sioners authorize four additional positions for the Community Mental Health
division, namely three Account Clerks I and one Clinical Psychologist II,
effective June 1, 1983.
