Leasing Vehicles

09-20-19

Hi.

Wadena is considering leasing vehicles and heard a presentation from Enterprise Fleet Services.  Do any counties use another fleet leasing service and if so, which company and do you have a contact person you can share their info?

Thank you,

Registered Dietitian billing

09-12-19

We have a Registered Dietician within our Public Health Department, and are wondering if any other counties are or know if we can bill insurance for her time spent working with high risk families as a dietician as opposed to her coding that time as WIC?  Is this something we would need to be Medicare certified as an agency to bill for?  Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Rep Payee Directory

09-09-19

I am looking to compile a directory of Rep Payee companies throughout the state.  

Due to the April Changes in Social Security Rules a rep payee must be located within 70 miles from the individual that is being served.    

This means counties that place people further than 70 miles from the individual that is serving rep payee are having to locate someone else to serve.   It is also affecting private individuals who are coming to the counties to find someone that could serve.  

I have received calls from other counties seeking information on who is available in our area (Beltrami)  and have passed on the information. Our county does not want to serve as rep payee for individuals that we are not doing case management on so we refer them out if they are not case managed here.
