and B2 Referrals from the CDC-DGMQ"
Provide brief budget explanation.
Background
When no local contingency for TB physician, clinical, nurse case management and field services
for Union County residents was developed before DHSS funding was no longer available to
support a local contingency, these services were consolidated into the University Hospital -
Lattimore Practice in July 2005. It was agreed that DHSS would sustain all costs related to the
care of these residents with the exception of the current costs of salary and benefits for the
Lattimore Union County Nurse Case Manager. The total costs were $118,189 at that time.
DHSS committed to assuring these costs did not increase for local health officers in Union
County for three years, ending June 30, 2008. At that time and annually thereafter, the costs will
be adjusted to be equivalent to the current cost of salaries and benefits for this position.
For each year of this consolidation, DHSS and the NJMS Global Tuberculosis Institute @
Rutgers Biomedical Health Sciences collected utilization data on residents of Union County
accessing services at the - Lattimore Practice (NJMS Global Tuberculosis Institute). This data
was used to assist each local health officer in Union County to determine his or her jurisdictions'
estimated share of the costs for this nurse case manager in subsequent years.
Cost Basis for Quarterly Invoices
Beginning in calendar year 2010, each municipality will be assessed a fixed fee, based on
previous 3 years utilization, that will be invoiced quarterly. The assessments were calculated
based on the following agreed terms:
1) Union County Freeholders will pay for 20% of the cost of services
2) Each municipality would be assessed a minimum base fee of $1,000
3) Municipalities utilizing services in excess of $1,000 will assessed proportionate to their use
