To partially offset the County’s expense prior to seeking FEMA reimbursement, CDR Health Care will collect patient insurance information where possible and bill to Medicare/Medicaid or commercial insurance. The credit will be submitted to the County monthly.
Additional County expenses will be incurred for leasing, cleaning, and other logistical costs associated with the site. These costs are also anticipated to be fully reimbursable by FEMA.
This expenditure was not anticipated and not included in the FY22 Tentative Budget . A budget amendment will be brought forward if necessary. Costs not eligible for FEMA reimbursement may be funded using General Fund reserves or such other federal stimulus funds as the American Rescue Plan Act.
