BACKGROUND:
On April 6, 2021, the Board of County Commissioners (the Board) approved an interlocal contract to provide $11,949,902 in voluntary contributions to support Inpatient, Outpatient, and Graduate Medical Education (GME) hospital services from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2023. The voluntary payment of these funds will be used by the DHCFP as the non-federal share of general Medicaid expenditures. This will preserve access to care for Medicaid eligible individuals in the State of Nevada under Fee For Service (FFS) Inpatient and Outpatient hospital services, and Graduate Medical Education (GME).
On, February 6, 2023, the Board approved amendment #1 extending the contract term through June 30, 2025 and increasing the amount to $33,346,400.
Amendment #2 will increase the contract amount to $35,059,594 due to increased patient volume.
