RESOURCE ALLOCATION FOR THE PROGRAM

SOURCE OF FUNDING

The Administration and Support Program is funded interagency transfers, fees and self-generated revenue and federal funds. Interagency transfers include: Title XIX reimbursement for services provided to Medicaid eligible patients, and reimbursements from various state and local agencies for space occupied and services received. Self-generated revenue represents reimbursement for ineligible patients with insurance or personal payments based on a sliding fee scale, reimbursement for the cost of housing furnished to employees and utilities and supplies utilized by Central Regional Laundry. Federal funds are Title XVIII reimbursement for services provided to Medicare eligible patients.

ANALYSIS OF RECOMMENDATION

The total means of financing for this program is recommended at 102.7% of the existing operating budget. It represents 88.0% of the total request ($8,154,109) for this program. The major changes include: an increase of interagency transfers by $168,834 to fund the cost for an additional twenty-five (25) retirees in FY 98/99; a $16,607 increase for risk management premiums; a means of financing swap substituting $41,000 in self-generated revenue for interagency transfers to reflect an estimated increase in ineligible patient fees; and a transfer of nine (9) positions from the Patient Care Program to the Administration Program to properly align T.O. The changes should have no impact on the delivery of these services.
