Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


Statement of Purpose
RS17967

This is an FY 2008 supplemental appropriation for the Psychiatric Hospitalization division within the Department of Health and Welfare. This bill provides additional funding for annualization of expansion costs for additional beds at State Hospital North. This bill also provides funding for an audit payback to Medicare for funding overpaid by the federal government in FY 2006. Finally, this appropriation bill funds additional monies to the Community Hospitalization program.

The Community Hospitalization budget pays the bills for private hospitalization of these individuals. This budget fluctuates annually depending on the number state mental health commitments, the length of stay of an individual, as well as the availability of beds within the state hospital system.
