Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Alcohol and Drug Abuse Outpatient Treatment Program has an established billing procedure for treatment services. This ensures that residents of Columbus and Franklin County continue to have access to AoD outpatient treatment and enhances revenue for continued services. The AoD Program bills fees to Medicaid and the Franklin County ADAMH Board through the State MACSIS billing system. The Program also uses a sliding fee scale based on Federal Poverty Guidelines, so no clients are denied services due to the inability to pay. This ordinance authorizes supplemental appropriation of $160,000 for additional revenues.

This ordinance is submitted as an emergency so as to allow the financial transaction to be posted in the City's accounting system as soon as possible. Up to date financial posting promotes accurate accounting and financial management.

FISCAL IMPACT: The Alcohol and Drug Abuse Program grant service contract is primarily funded through the Franklin County ADAMH Board. The Alcohol and Drug Abuse Program generates additional revenues from client fees, Medicaid , grant incentiave funds and Adult Probation.
