Request/Subject

Intergovernmental Agreement No. YH16-0018-06 between Gila County and AHCCCS (Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System) for Inmate Hospitalization.

Background Information

The original Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) No. YH08-0080-01 was approved by the Board of Supervisors on November 25, 2008. Amendment No. 1 was approved by the Board of Supervisors on July 27, 2010. Amendment No 2 was approved by the Board of Supervisors on June 25, 2013.

IGA No. YH16-0018-06 replaces IGA No. YH08-0080-01.

Evaluation

The purpose of this Agreement is for AHCCS and Gila County to jointly develop and agree to an eligibility application and determination process that complies with both Federal and State Laws, Regulations, Rules and appropriate Centers for Medicare and Medicade Services (CMS) approval and to adjudicate and pay claims for covered services provided to members in accordance with federal and state laws, regulations, and rules. It also provides AHCCCS with the funds to pay for administrative costs associated with this Agreement.

Conclusion

This IGA is entered into pursuant to A.R.S. § 36-2903 to provide AHCCCS with the appropriate state match in order to pay for medical services that qualify for Federal Financial Participation (FFP) provided to inmates who qualify for Title XIX while they are an inpatient in a medical institution.

Recommendation

It is the recommendation of Sheriff J. Adam Shepherd that the Board of Supervisors approve IGA No. YH16-0018-06 between Gila County and AHCCCS for inmate hospitalization.
