Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the responsibilities of Community Mental Health have expanded with

Hospital Liaison to provide liaison assistance with public and private hospitals,
residential facilities, psychiatrists, and community agencies in confirming
consumer residency, assessing needs, and assisting in the development of
treatment plans and pre-discharge planning; and
WHEREAS the proposed new classification would also be responsible for
ensuring the security of all consumer Federal and State entitlements including
new or existing programs, Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Social
Security benefits, and food stamps; and
WHEREAS securing all eligible entitlements for consumers would result in
a decrease in the total amount of Community Mental Health expenditures; and

that all applications and paperwork were completed and returned to the Department
of Social Services for consumers eligible for such entitlements; and
WHEREAS this proposal also involves the creation of two (2) new SR

a reduction in funding for hospital contracts.

FISCAL NOTE (MiSC. #95046)
BY: FINANCE AND PERSONNEL COMMITTEE - JOHN MCCULLOCH, CHAIRPERSON
IN RE: HUMAN SERVICES/CMH - THE CREATION OF A NW HOSPITAL LIAISON
CLASSIFICATION AND TWO POSITIONS - MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #95046
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule XII-G, the Finance and Personnel Committee has reviewed
Miscellaneous Resolution 495046 and finds:
1. The resolution creates two new Hospital Liaison positions in the
Admission/Discharge Unit.
2. Total annual costs are estimated to be an additional $96,118 in
salaries and fringe benefits and $9,392 in operating expenses for
a total annual cost of $105,510. This cost is more than offset by
$135,081 in estimated annual savings for avoidance of unnecessary
hospital expenses through better coordination of length-of-stay
authorization by the Michigan Peer Review Organization (M-PRO),
aggressive pursuit of Medicaid applications, and increased
Medicaid reimbursement for discharge medications.
3. For the remainder of Fiscal Year 1994/95, the additional costs are
estimated to be $51756 in salaries and fringe benefits, $5,057 in
operating expenses, and $5,309 in one-time start-up expenses for a
total of $62,122. The offsetting cost savings for the remainder
of FY 1994/95 is estimated to be $61,912.
4. Costs for these positions are included within the Community Mental
Health Budget, therefore, amendments to the Budget are not
required.
