Q1. I have a question about the definition of Program Slots for the CY2007 ASP. Our outpatient program serves a significant number of clients who do not utilize Medicaid/ADAMH funding to pay for services. Instead they utilize private insurance or their own funds to pay for services. In addition, out outpatient program serves many clients utlizing Medicaid to pay for services, but the clients are not residents of Franklin County. Should the calculation of Program Slots (and the resulting Annual Program Capacity number) be based on:
a.) all clients receiving services in the program, regardless of payer or
b.) The number of clients using public funds regardless of their county of residence or
c.)The number of Franklin County residents utilizing Medicaid or ADAMH funds to pay for services.

A1. The calculation of Program Slots and resulting \"Annual Program Capacity\" should be based on slots for Franklin County residents funded in part or in full by ADAMH/Medicaid. Treatment slots/annual capacity that is used for services to residents of other counties, or full-pay, or private-insurance (no sliding-fee scale) persons should be carved out of the calculation.
