Guidelines, approving the Guidelines, and also contingent
upon the concurrent institution of the IPO Program in the
Upper Keys:
I. Monroe County would establish a contingency fund in the
amount of $30,000.00. The amount of the fund is based on
the past three years of experience of the need for transport
and first day's care of high-risk mothers and newborns who
are residents of Monroe County out of the County. The fund
would be administered by the Monroe County Health Department
and would be set up separately from their annual operating
budget. Final approval for disbursement of funds from this
fund would be by the County Administrator or his designee,
based on the criteria as set forth in these guidelines.
2. Expenditures from this fund would be capped at a maximum
guarantee of $5,000.00 per transfer. This expenditure would
be further restricted to a maximum of $3,000.00 for
emergency transport and/or $2,000.00 for hospital costs. In
no event will these caps be exceeded.
3. Eligibility for this fund would be restricted to high-
risk mothers or newborns who are residents of Monroe County
needing transport out of Monroe County to a tertiary care
facility. Based on data from area hospitals for the past
three years, The number of prenatal eligible recipients has
vacillated from a low of three to a high of ten clients per
year.
4. This fund would be one of last resort to be utilized
when no other funding is available. Hospital Administrators
who have guaranteed payment from hospital funds to facili-
tate emergency transfer of Monroe County high-risk mothers
and/or babies to tertiary care facilities would be eligible
to apply to the fund for reimbursement (as outlined in
Section 2) after ninety days when all normal collection
GG
~7i
efforts and search for 3rd party payment have been unsuc-
cessful. Application must be made within 7 working days
after the 90-day collection effort period. Not adhering to
these application guidelines will be cause for refusal of
allocating the requested funds.
5. Under no circumstances will monies from the contingency
fund be used to supplement any other payment source, i.e.:
Medicaid, private insurance, etc.
6. Patient eligibility for access to this fund would be
based on current medically needy/Medicaid rates (not
including share of cost clients), rates of income and
assets.
7. All potential claims against this fund must be noticed
to the Monroe County Health Department for the purpose of
letting the County know of possible claims against the fund.
Notification will be made within 7 working days of the
transfer occurrence.
8. The client is responsible to apply for all benefits
which could be available: Medicaid, CMS, Medically Needy
and/or AFDC. If the client chooses not to apply for bene-
fits, she will not be eligible for the fund.
