Administrator Director of Nursing

TO: Chemung County Legislature

CC: Peter Buzzetti III, Public Health Director

DATE: October 5, 2021

SUBJECT: THIRD PARTY REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENTS

The purpose of this correspondence is to request Legislature authorization to continue or amend existing third party reimbursement agreements for the Chemung County Nursing Facility and the Chemung County Health Department for calendar year 2022. The Nursing Facility and Health Department have many agreements with third party payers that reimburse for services provided to individuals covered by a particular plan. Due to the nature and longevity of these agreements, it is not practical to enter into a new agreement every five years, but it is necessary to revise the agreements from time to time for changes in reimbursement rates, to modify covered services or add certain amendments or addenda. Most of these agreements do not have a specific term or duration and have been in place for many years. Therefore, we are requesting adoption of a Resolution to continue or amend, as needed, the current third party reimbursement agreements listed below. The Resolution requested would give authorization to the County Executive to sign agreement amendments for changes in rates, scope of services or addenda that may be required for legal or regulatory purposes. The Resolution should be specific to the agreements listed below, and any new agreements in the future will be submitted individually to the Legislature for approval. The following third party reimbursement agreements are in place for the Chemung County Nursing Facility and/or the Chemung County Health Department: Blue Cross Blue Shield of Central New York Blue Cross Blue Shield of Northeastern Pennsylvania Excellus Health Plan, Inc. (Blue Cross Blue Shield) RMSCO POMCO Humana VA Medical Center (Triwest Healthcare Alliance) United Healthcare New York State Catholic Health Plan, Inc. d/b/a Fidelis Care New York Capital District Physicians Health Plan Medicare Advantage Plans (Various) Tricare Humana Independent Living Systems (iCircle) Care First Nascentia Health Options (Formerly VNA) Lifetime Benefit Solutions
