We do not use VaxCare but when we do ‘offsite’ we get consents first, check insurance then go do them another day. This is helpful when you are doing employees of a place ie schools.
You won’t get anyone for that amount. But if you have a part time person for basic wastewater they can take the online courses offered at Mo Southern in Joplin then that the basic WW course and be approved to do basic systems. Pam Allen at Dade County had her front desk person do that and they were approved to do basic systems. This is NOT in the EHOG but Edith Todd at SW District said that it was okay. But you still won’t be able to hire anyone at that rate. My EPHS has been with me for 21 years with only an Associates degree and he gets $24/hour plus all benefits for full time. Good Luck.
Right Cheryl, and stethoscopes are specifically listed in the “allowable” costs list! I don’t know how I will be able to spend everything that is left by July when I have to request, hope and wait for weeks to even get approval to order, etc.
This is the response I got a week ago when I checked in on the status.. “Thank you for letting us know. Your organization’s prior approval requests are currently under upper management review”. I wander who upper management is….
I sent an email about my ‘prior approval’ for stethoscopes that I sent in December and in about 2 days got denial. Gee whiz………stethoscopes for goodness sakes. I wonder if this new lady has any clue what a mess she is getting into.
I have a theory that they had to pay back CDC and have no funds left and so they just deny everything. Just my 2 centsI’m still waiting on apporvals/denials from the beginning of December that I submitted. Do we think anything will change positively, with Paula’s resignation/retirement?
Has anyone gotten an invoice payment since July? I have submitted everything I was asked for and then some. I don’t know whether to ask about it or not.
Cheryl,
We are dealing with the exact same thing. We were told that we needed to submit paystubs and some kind of accounting for the hours (not conservative estimates). When we asked if other jurisdictions are submitting their staff hours in this manner we were told yes. When we asked if we could see what that looks like to understand what is being asked of us and an example of what they are needing, they said that would be “copying” and said that they would not supply any kind of template.
What hours are my staff working on these efforts? Varying amounts here and there throughout the week, just like anyone in any position doing any job. Nobody that I am aware of have staff that are exclusively doing ELC duties or even a set schedule of ELC activities.
We get things approved, and then the contract changes.
We get things approved, and then approval is rescinded.
We get things approved, and then our invoice for those services is challenged.The goalposts keep moving and we are exhausted. It’s beyond frustrating.
Rant – Warning!! So this stupid invoice template has exactly the same info as a DH-38 but we can’t use a DH-38 Now they was proof I paid my staff in the for of paystubs.
I did get my prior approval for staffing. Gee whiz thanks!Yes! I’m still frustrated and fighting about personnel costs, our medical director fee and EHR. I know others are getting paid for these things and that makes it seem like they are being subjective and picking favorites. I pretty much told Paula that and also said that efforts that she had made to form a collaborative partnership with LPHAs had been set fire to!
Is anyone else ready to tell DHSS to shove their ELC-ED Funding??? I have around $16,000.00 in salary that I am trying to get paid for. How many damn times and different ways does a person have to send them the same paperwork. I am beyond frustrated!
