78. FEE INCREASE TO HEALTH CARDS FOR TUBERCULOSIS CONTROL Pursuant to A.R.S. §11-251.08, set a public hearing for Wednesday, March 31, 2010 to consider approving the Department of Public Health's increase to the existing fees for Maricopa County's Department of Public Health’s Clinical Services Tuberculosis Health Cards. The proposed fee increase will be attributable to and defray or cover the expense of the product or service for which the fee will be assessed. No fee will exceed the actual cost of the product or service provided. The proposed fee increase for the Health Card will be from $36 to $65. The Clinical Services Division issues an average of 2,500 health cards each year. The current approved charge for a health card is $36. The recommended charge for a health card based on actual costs is $65. An analysis of the actual costs for producing a single health card are as follows: Labor, $60 and supplies, $5. The 2009 provision of Health Card services and products had an annual cost of $162,500, revenue collected is $86,120 for a loss of $76,380. The anticipated issuance of 2,500 Health Cards for $65 each would collect revenue of $162,500 producing a projected annual loss of $0. (C-86-10-113-M-00)
