ORIGINATOR:  Rhonda Smids-Osborne

 

EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION:  Lacey Harper 5/15/23

 

PURPOSE: The purpose of this Agreement is to support Medicaid related outreach and linkage activities performed by Local Health Jurisdictions (LHJ) to Washington State residents who live within its jurisdiction. These activities assist residents who have no or inadequate medical coverage, and includes explaining the benefits of the Medicaid program, assisting them in the Medicaid application and renewal processes, and linking them to Medicaid covered services. This Agreement provides a process for partially reimbursing the Health Department for allowable and reasonable expenses associated with the time its staff spend performing Medicaid Administrative Claiming (MAC) activities.

 

BACKGROUND: Prior to its integration into Snohomish County, the Snohomish Health District entered into an interagency agreement with the Washington State Health Care Authority for the Medicaid Administrative Claiming Program and wish to continue this partnership. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is the federal agency with national oversight of the Medicaid program, including Medicaid Administrative Claiming.
