TO: School Board Members
FROM: MaryEllen Elia, Superintendent
SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve a Contract for Medicaid Data Management Partnership with The School Board of Gadsden County, FL (Gadsden) Beginning July 1, 2011, and Remaining in Force Unless Terminated per the Contract (Business Division)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The School Board of Hillsborough County (HCPS) will provide billing services under the Medicaid "fee-for-service" program for Gadsden.  The billing agent for Gadsden is not renewing Medicaid services contracts in the State of Florida and this has resulted in some small school districts, including Gadsden, without the capabilities of billing Medicaid and a further loss of revenue for these districts. 

HCPS has the unencumbered capacity to accept responsibility for processing Medicaid billing for a limited number of these small school districts.  Acceptance of this responsibility will not result in any additional personnel or payroll costs for HCPS.

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
•Â Align financial resources to support the district’s strategic goals
FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted:  No)
Anticipated annual revenue based on Gadsden's record of Medicaid revenue will be $2,000 annually.  HCPS has unencumbered capacity for Medicaid billing, therefore, no additional expense is anticipated for HCPS.
