FINANCIAL IMPACT
Approval of this item will not result in the use of Discretionary General Funding (Net County Cost). The cost of the American Medical Association's (AMA) royalty rates for the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code sets are updated annually, which changes the total agreement amount with each amendment. Amendment No. 5 (Amendment) to Internal Use License Agreement No. 20-602 (Agreement) will increase the total amount of the Agreement by $36,935, from $175,793 to $212,728. The cost of the Amendment is funded by State Medi-Cal, Federal Medicare, private insurance, and other departmental revenue. Funding sources may change in the future pending any legislative activity related to the repeal and/or replacement of the Affordable Care Act. Adequate appropriation and revenue have been included in the Arrowhead Regional Medical Center (ARMC) 2024-25 budget and will be included in future recommended budgets.
