Issue: There has been an increase in the amount of eligible indigent clients being assisted with physician services (consultations, surgery, treatments, etc) and laboratory/x-ray services (diagnostic exams, radiation treatments, etc.). Additionally, there are insufficient funds to cover cell phone expenses to the end of the fiscal year since we purchased a wireless modem for the nurse to use during outreach clinics to confirm immunization records from state registries.
Solution: Approval of requested funds will allow our office to continue assisting clients in obtaining their necessary medical treatments and cover necessary cell phone expenses.
Result: Clients will be able to consult with their physicians as medically necessary and prevent expensive medical complications and unnecessary hospitalizations. There will be sufficient funds to cover cell phone invoices. |
