Note: 2020 Fees have been adjusted per Ordinance 12-1209-96, Section 4 – Annual Fee Indexing: Fixed amount fees established by this ordinance shall be adjusted annually on the first business day of January (adjusted date) by the amount of the increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPIW). The CPIW is the Consumer Price Index – U.S. City Average for All Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the United States Department of Labor.

The annual fee adjustment shall be calculated as follows: Each fee in effect immediately prior to the adjustment date will be increased by the percentage increase in the CPIW as reported for the month of September preceding the adjustment date. Increases will be rounded to the nearest dollar. A fee shall not be reduced by reason of such calculation. However, fee increases in accordance with this calculation shall not exceed five percent per year.

[Ord. 7-20 § 4 (Appx. A); Ord. 7-18 §§ 2, 3; Ord. 6-16 § 3 (Att.); Ord. 3-16 § 3 (Att.); Ord. 11-15 § 3 (Att.); Ord. 5-15 § 3 (Att.); Ord. 3-15 § 3 (Att.); Ord. 8-14 § 3 (Att. A); Ord. 2-14 § 2 (Att.

I-020 Public health clinic services.

All of the services/fees listed for Jefferson County public health are hereby being set by the Jefferson County board of health as follows:

A cost analysis will be completed annually to set reimbursement rates for community health including family planning services, birth control methods and immunizations.1

Fees for medications, antibiotics and treatment methods will be based on cost of acquisition unless acquired by an outside vendor at no cost to Jefferson County public health.

All fees for immunizations not subsidized by the Washington State Department of Health will be the cost of the vaccine plus handling, shipping and nursing time.1

Laboratory services are based on the actual fees of laboratory contractors, price lists are available upon request.

The Clinical Services Financial Guidelines policy is in place, reviewed and updated annually, using the Federal Poverty Guidelines to establish the sliding fee schedule. A copy of the sliding fee schedule will be available upon request.

The sliding fee schedule will not be available or offered for privately purchased vaccines administered for international travel or outside laboratory cost.

Certain service fees may be waived, including but not limited to communicable disease prevention cases, medications, laboratory services or vaccines to prevent outbreaks of communicable disease, where personal insurance denies reimbursement.

Jefferson County public health will automatically implement future modifications to fees for vaccines, medications, and medical supplies when any of the following changes occur:

(1) The actual cost of the service provided by an outside vendor, the supply, medication, vaccine, and laboratory charges, and like costs plus shipping and handling fees.

(2) Any new Federal Poverty Guidelines that are published annually.

(3) The maximum allowable Medicaid reimbursement rate.

Fees for vital records are set by RCW 70.58A.560. The cost sheet is available by request.

Environmental health fees, established by Section I-010, shall be adjusted annually on the first business day of January (adjustment date) by the amount of the increase of the Consumer Price Index as reported for the month of September preceding the adjustment date, following the annual fee indexing criteria established in Jefferson County Ordinance No. 12-96.

A cost analysis for environmental health will be completed every two years. [Ord. 2-23 § 3 (Appx. B); Ord. 13-08 § 4; Ord. 11-05 § 4; Ord. 05-04 § 2; Ord. 11-99 § 2]
