Baird <br /> Administrator <br /> Indian River County Board of County Commissioners <br /> 1801 27th Street <br /> Vero Beach, FL 32960-3365 <br /> RE: 2012-2013 FEE SCHEDULE <br /> Dear Mr. Baird, <br /> Please find attached the proposed fee scheduled for FY 2012-2013 Indian River County Health <br /> Department for your review and formal approval by the Indian River County Board of <br /> Commissioners. <br /> Under F.S. 154.06, "Each county may establish, and each county health department may <br /> collect, fees for primary care services, provided that a schedule of such fees is established by <br /> resolution of the board of county commissioners or by rule of the department, respectively. We <br /> have provided an updated itemized sliding fee schedule for all health department services. <br /> As we sign up with Medicaid HMOs, we need to add the following language to our fee schedule <br /> as HMOs will reimburse the lower of our fees or the Medicaid fees: <br /> "Fees shall be no less than Medicaid Fee-for-Service reimbursement rate and no <br /> greater than the Medicare reimbursement rate plus fifty percent, in effect at the time of <br /> service, or comparable reimbursement rates, if no such rates are available." <br /> This will give us the flexibility to be able to bill at the higher reimbursement rate and not lose <br /> revenue at the lower rate. <br /> Please feel free to call me at 794-7450 if you have any questions. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Miranda C. Hawker, M.P.H. <br /> County Health Department Administrator <br /> Attachments <br /> cc: Beth Benton, Office of Management and Budget R E G r IV, r-P <br /> Florida Department of Health www.FloridasHealth.com <br /> Indian River County Health Department , �~ WRAalthyFLA <br /> 1900 27"Street,Vero Beach,FL 32960 # ,; FA OK:F'D6parhV0ftofHealth ^ <br /> PHONE:772-794-7400/www.myirchd.com YOUTUBE:fldoh b <br />
