BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS LEON COUNTY, FLORIDA

Title: Approval of the First Amendment to the Bond Community Health Center’s FY 2012-
2013 Primary Healthcare Contract and Approval of the Letter of Agreement with the Agency for
Healthcare Administration
April 9, 2013
Page 3
Bond CHC intends to utilize the full $171,410 to maintain and support operations of the Mobile
Unit in order to provide services to patients throughout Leon County. Additionally, the funding
will provide for the clinical and outreach staff consisting of an Advanced Registered Nurse
Practitioner (ARNP), Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), Medical Assistant (MA), Spanish
Speaking Outreach Worker, Intake Specialist and Driver for the Mobile Unit. The Mobile Unit
provides an additional resource to mitigate the barrier for patients in Leon County who do not
have access to the Health Center. By funding the Mobile Unit, additional Leon County residents
can now be afforded quality health care access. Meanwhile, Bond CHC maintains that the
Pharmacy will remain operational and fully staffed through the combined funding of County and
non-County dollars.
Approval of the First Amendment to the Contract with Bond CHC and Board approval of the
Letter of Agreement between Leon County and the Agency for Healthcare Administration in the
amount of $72,455 to match the Medicaid Low Income Pool funds for the Bond Community
Health Center would mean reducing the FY 12/13 provider’s reimbursable allocation, which
includes funds for pharmacy staffing, from $178,249 to $105,794. By allowing Bond CHC to
utilize a portion of the pharmacy staffing dollars, they would receive $98,955 from the State for a
total of $171,410 in Medicaid Low Income Pool funds. Approval of this Amendment is
consistent with previous Board actions regarding amendments to Bond CHC’s Contract for
Medicaid LIP funding.
