§ 100550 Health Services Contract Authority

This law lets the health department sign one big contract that can cover many different health services at the same time, as long as any federal programs keep their own separate bookkeeping.

Key Takeaways

  • •The department can bundle many health services into a single contract.
  • •Only the services listed in the law can be included.
  • •Federal programs that need separate accounting must still be tracked separately, even inside the bundled contract.

Example

The state health department wants to hire a community clinic to provide primary care, dental care, and family planning in a rural town.

Instead of writing three separate contracts, the department can use one contract that includes all three services because they are on the allowed list. If the clinic also gets federal money for family planning, that part must still be tracked separately.
