MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #99318 December 16, 1999
BY: FINANCE COMMITTEE, SUE ANN DOUGLAS, CHAIRPERSON
IN RE: DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICE/HEALTH DIVISION - IMPLEMENTATION OF SECTION
1693 OF PUBLIC ACT 114 OF 1999 FOR MEDICAID OUTREACH SERVICES
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS prior to Fiscal Year 1999/2000, Medicaid Outreach funding was
awarded by the Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) to Local Health
Departments through the Maternal and Child Health Block Grant; and
WHEREAS for Fiscal Year 1999/2000, legislative language contained in
Section 1693 of Public Act 114 of 1999 (State Appropriations Act) directs MDCH
to allocate funds to Qualified Health Plans (QHPs) for the purpose of contracting
with Local Health Departments (LHDs) to provide outreach services to Medicaid
enrollees; and
WHEREAS the intent of the legislation is to increase the number of services
provided to Medicaid eligible pregnant women and children that are enrolled with
the QHPs, specifically for maternal and infant support services and Medicaid
screening; and
WHEREAS Corporation Counsel has reviewed the legislation and is of the
opinion that a contractual relationship with QHPs to implement Section 1693 would
not jeopardize the County's governmental immunity since the legislation requires
QHPs to contract with LHDs; and
WHEREAS the agreements have been reviewed and approved by Corporation
Counsel; and
WHEREAS total funds allocated to the QHPs for Oakland County amounts to
$354,439 for the period October 1, 1999, through September 30, 2000; and
WHEREAS existing Special Revenue positions which were previously funded by
the MDCH Medicaid Outreach Grant will be utilized for implementation of Section
1693 thus no additional personnel are required; and
WHEREAS implementation of the program requires no additional County
funding.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
amends the Fiscal Year 1999/2000 Budget in accordance with the attached schedule
for the purpose of implementing Section 1693 of Public Act 114 of 1999.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that implementation of Section 1693 of Public Act
114 does not obligate the County to any future commitment, and continuation of
these services and any related personnel are contingent upon continued
reimbursement.
Chairperson, on behalf of the Finance Committee, I move the adoption of the
foregoing resolution.
