I
have a question I need posted to the blog.
My
question is: Is the QI costs now associated with Family First a
“billable” charge to the parent under parental fee?

Does anyone use batch processing in MN-Econnect and/or
Availity for billing EW or Public Health client visits? We received a notice
that we will be billed $1200 per year for batch processing beginning
1/1/2022. I am wondering if there is a way to batch process into Availity
instead and is there a fee? We have sent emails to Availity and are
awaiting a response but am wondering if anyone else received this notice from
E-Connect and/or if you are using a different process.
Please email me any thoughts. Thank you!

I'm wondering what kind of MAXIS
& PRISM access Fiscal Supervisors have that supervise both Accounting

Does anyone
else use MNE-Connect to upload their MA Transportation files? We are
having issues with our uploads to MNE-Connect. On the PMI Column, there
are no “0’s” in front of the PMI when we save it as a CSV Comma Delimited
file. MNE-Connect’s system used to add the “0’s” to the front of it to
make the 8 digits when it was submitted to DHS. Now it is not, and we are
getting denials. We have been doing it this way as long as I have been
here. The Accounting Tech tried adding an apostrophe in front and adding
the 0’s but it takes them out when it is saved. Any ideas?

Our county is thinking of offering some type of incentive
for the foster parents to get their CARS training completed/up to date with the
waiver ending. We were wondering if it would be possible to pay for food at the
training or a gift card to give away or any other type of incentive. Just
wondering if other counties have done anything similar or we shouldn’t do this
at all.
Thanks,

Working on the 2022 budget, and wondering how counties split
the cost between Income Maintenance, Social Services and Public
Health. Not so much the process, but the actual percentages of each
department. And secondly, do you also use these same percentages for
allocating tax levy to each department? Thank you

Are there any counties that use the Cash Drawer system for
receipts with IFS and also have a Cash Drawer at the social service agency
where they receipt in money as it comes to them? I’m interested in
hearing or getting copies of any policy/procedure how the receipts are managed
using the Cash Drawer system at the social service office.
Thank you,
