share records as required as part of the 1115 initiative including electronic health <br />records. Working with the MA will be a jail deputy and other clerical staff, but <br />communication with in-house providers, community providers, and other entities will be <br />an important part of this position, and it will also require conversations with those <br />incarcerated at the Kittitas County Jail. For those incarcerated for longer than 90 days, <br />the MA will have to work with the insurance provider to make them aware of any <br />estimated date of release for a client or process to ensure that the transition to release <br />is prepared. All of this includes determining and working with those who receive <br />benefits of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023 (CAA) as required by the 1115 <br />guidelines. The MA will have opportunities to receive additional technical assistance <br />and training from both the Healthcare Authority and the Kittitas County Jail including <br />access to all supplemental training materials, FAQs, policies and procedures, and billing <br />guidelines. <br />Research and Evaluation <br />The Kittitas County Jail will evaluate the success of the MA, and their duties as required <br />as part of the 1115 reentry initiative by tracking data associated with these services. <br />This will include the number of inmates seen, the total number of inmates enrolled or <br />reenrolled in Apple Health Insurance, those who didn't qualify and why, those who are <br />considered CAA clients, and programs offered and participated in. The Kittitas County <br />Jail will work with the MA and gather and analyze this quarterly and annual reporting <br />data available, unless otherwise requested by the Kittitas County Jail. Any additional <br />specific metrics the Kittitas County Jail desires to be tracked may be requested as well. <br />The Kittitas County Jail is the owner of the research data, to the extent consistent with <br />and allowed by the funding and may make use of the de -identified data for the <br />education of the public and other entities. <br />At least quarterly a representative from CompassDirect Healthcare will be invited to <br />participate in a meeting and share any pertinent information regarding successes or <br />barriers to the programming, how the parties can improve on processes or <br />communication, and present information as requested. CompassDirect Healthcare may <br />also be requested to update the Kittitas County Jail administrators or staff more <br />frequently if so desired when both parties have available time. <br />Professional Services Agreement (rev. 0912412018) <br />Page 14 of 18 <br />
