Commission approves wiring local match for ambulance UPL grant; county to net about $23,001.90
Summary
Commission approved payment of a $11,925 local match to secure $35,115 in federal funds under a Medicare/Medicaid UPL program, yielding a net revenue gain of $23,001.90.
The commission authorized county staff to wire a local match payment of $11,925 to secure federal grant funds under a Medicare/Medicaid UPL program. County staff explained the state will not pay the match; if the county wires the match, the county will receive $35,115 and realize a net revenue gain of $23,001.90.
A county presenter said the county has participated in this program nine or ten times in recent years and has previously brought in roughly $250,000–$300,000 over four to five years by participating in similar matches. "So in this case, we're seeking approval to wire the match portion. The state will not pay the match, but if we pay it, then we'll get the federal funding," the presenter said.
A motion to approve the wiring of the match was made and seconded by commissioners on the floor; the chair called the vote in favor. The county will route the grant proceeds through Georgia Park Community of Health, per staff presentation, and then the county will receive the federal proceeds.
