FINANCIAL IMPACT
Approval of the item will not result in the use of Discretionary General Funding (Net County Cost). The cost of $241,023 is funded by State Medi-Cal, Federal Medicare, private insurances, 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) 2023-24 budget and will be included in 2024-25 recommended budget.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Approval of the Amendment will allow ARMC to increase the number of leased endoscopy video equipment system components, to include five scopes, a handheld imager, and a video processor.

For these reasons, the demand for endoscopy video equipment has increased.
