Based upon projections, the total cost to the County to collect $439,978.00 in Medicaid supplemental payments is $39,598.02. ITEM BACKGROUND: MCFR is seeking BOCC approval for ratification of a two (2) year Professional Services Agreement with Public Consulting Group LLC (PCG) to assist with the data reporting requirements for the Florida Public Emergency Medical Transportation (PEMT) Program. In the essence of time to meet the FL PEMT Program reporting requirements deadline, the contract with PCG was routed as a small contract less than $50K for approval by the County Administrator with agreement to have it subsequently ratified at the following BOCC meeting. Since 2016, the inception of the Public Emergency Medical Transportation program, PCG has gained vast experience working with a wide range of fire departments and ambulance service providers across Florida to maximize Medicaid reimbursement and program compliance for the provider community. Based upon their initial review and previous experience with the FL PEMT Program, PCG projects that MCFR will receive $219,989.00 in Medicaid supplemental payments in Year 1 and in Year 2 for a total of $439,978.00. In return for their data reporting assistance, PCG requests a 12% fee in Year 1 and a 6% fee in Year 2 of the supplemental payment amount that MCFR receives from the FL PEMT Program. Based upon projections, the total cost to the County to collect$439,978.00 in supplemental payments is $39,598.02. Research was conducted to obtain quotes from other companies (i.e. McKesson Corporation, EMS M/C Change Healthcare) in accordance with the Purchasing Policy, but a company that performs FL PEMT Program consulting could not be located. Most providers in the State of Florida (i.e. Palm Beach County, Broward Sheriffs Office) use PCG for this program, aside from those that do their own reporting. A sole source letter is attached from PCG. Packet Pg. 287 C.9 PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: N/A CONTRACT/AGREEMENT CHANGES: Professional Services Agreement with PCG STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
