MEMORANDUM
Date: January 5, 2024
To: Debra Danforth, OCHD Division Director
From: Kristin Jorgenson-Dann, OCHD PRC Supervisor
Re: Modification of BC Resolution 08-28-13-B
This is a request to update BC Resolution 08-28-13-B. It is necessary to update BC Resolution
08-28-13-B relating to the approval of PRC batches for payment. Below are the justifications for
the requested changes:
1. Update CHEF amount in BC Resolution from $19,000.00 to $25,000.00.
a. This is the correct amount for access to CHEF funds.
2. Update sign-off authority for health care payments from $100,000.00 & $50,000.00 to
both being for $1,000,000.00.
a. Rising costs of health care
b. Increase in amount of patients served
c. Internal processes with Accounts Payable that may delay a weekly batch (month
end, fiscal year end) from being sent for payment timely. There may be two or
three weeks of batches that will be approved resulting in a higher amount for
the batch approval.
d. Prevent delay in payment to outside providers, avoid collections for patients.
e. The OCHD Division Director a backup for approvals so payments are not delayed
and meet Accounts Payable timeframes.
f. Data; here is some information from the last six batches that were approved for
payment
i. Batch approved 11/16/2023 totaled $124,201.18
ii. Batch approved 11/08/2023 totaled $323,264.26
iii. Batch approved 10/26/2023 totaled $337,337.24
iv. Batch approved 10/11/2023 totaled $161,585.77
v. Batch approved 09/26/2023 totaled $192,267.90
vi. Batch approved 09/20/2023 totaled $191,652.71
By having the resolution revised as requested, it will better serve PRC patients and our outside
health care partners with timely payments. Thank you.

invoice, and

WHEREAS,

in regards to invoices in excess of $19,000 the Tribe receives reimbursement from Catastrophic Health Emergency
Funds (CHEF) that is on a first come first served basis such that a delay in submission of the reimbursement request
could result in funding being unavailable and the Tribe utilizing Tribal contribution or direct billing receipts from health
division patients to offset these costs, and

WHEREAS,

the removal of the General Manager from the authorization process has resulted in delays in paying the invoices and
thus delays in submission of the reimbursement from CHEF, and

WHEREAS,

the Oneida Comprehensive Health Division has identified all processes which could be addressed to reduce the
overall time of receipt, review, approval and payment of the health care invoices.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Oneida Business Committee sets the following sign-off authority for Contract Health
Services regarding health care payments subject to CHEF reimbursement and supersedes all prior authorizations:
Comprehensive Health Division Operations Director amounts not exceeding $100,000
Comprehensive Health Division Assistant Operations Director amounts not exceeding $50,000
NOW THEREFORE BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this resolution shall be effective upon adoption and the Comprehensive Health
Division Operations Director shall be responsible for forwarding copies of this resolution to the appropriate parties.
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that the Comprehensive Health Division Operations Director shall cause to have placed on all check
requests for health care payments subject to the authorizations in this resolution the following notation: "Check request authorized
under resolution# BC 08-28-13-B and subject to CHEF reimbursement processes."

BC Resolution # Leave this line blank
Authorization to Sign-Off on Purchased Referred Care Services – Health Care Payments
WHEREAS,

the Oneida Nation is a federally recognized Indian government and a treaty tribe
recognized by the laws of the United States of America; and

WHEREAS,

the Oneida General Tribal Council is the governing body of the Oneida Nation; and

WHEREAS,

the Oneida Business Committee has been delegated the authority of Article IV, Section 1,
of the Oneida Tribal Constitution by the Oneida General Tribal Council; and

WHEREAS,

the Oneida Comprehensive Health Division (OCHD) receives notices from vendors for
health care invoices (medical, dental, optical and Behavioral Health invoices), verifies the
payment should be made, and authorizes payment on the health care invoice; and

WHEREAS,

in regards to invoices in excess of $25,000.00 the Oneida Nation receives reimbursement
from the Catastrophic Health Emergency Fund (CHEF) that is on a first come first served
basis such that a delay in submission of the reimbursement request could result in funding
being unavailable or insufficient; and

WHEREAS,

the Oneida Comprehensive Health Division has identified all processes which could be
addressed to reduce the overall time of receipt, review, approval and payment of the health
care invoices; and

WHEREAS,

BC Resolution 08-28-13-B assigns sign-off authority for Purchased Referred Care
(formerly Contract Health Services) regarding health care payments subject to CHEF
reimbursement; and

WHEREAS,

for those periods when the Division Director is unavailable, adding the Oneida
Comprehensive Health Assistant Division Director to the approval process as a backup
approver will reduce delays in the payment of invoices and better ensure timely submission
for reimbursement from the CHEF when applicable; and

WHEREAS,

rising health care costs, an increase in patients served, and a need for efficiency have
created a need to increase the sign-off approval amounts; and

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Oneida Business Committee sets the following sign-off
authority for Purchased Referred Care regarding health payments subject to CHEF reimbursements,
superseding all such prior authorizations including BC Resolution 08-28-13-B:
Comprehensive Health Division Director amounts not exceeding $1,000,000.00
Comprehensive Health Assistant Division Director amounts not exceeding $1,000,000.00

Oneida Business Committee

From: Chairman Hill, Councilman Metoxen, Councilman Skenandore
Date: April 25, 2024
Re:

Resolution Proclamation May is Mental Health Matters Month

May is Mental Health Matters Month
Every day, millions of people face stigma related to mental illness, causing many to face
their mental health challenges for years without help. Each May, Mental Health Matters
Month provides the opportunity for everyone to come together to illuminate mental
health awareness to stop the stigma. Bringing forth this awareness is crucial to helping
people reach out for the assistance they deserve.
To stand in solidarity to stop the stigma surrounding mental health, we are contacting
you to request that the Oneida Nation adopt the following resolution to recognize May
as a yearly awareness as Mental Health Matters Month in our community. By officially
recognizing May as Mental Health Matters Month, we believe we can help unite our
community members with a shared vision of improved mental health and equality.
We have provided a pre-written proclamation below that can be adapted as needed to
reflect our community’s specific needs. This is a time to amplify the voices of all people
who want to put an end to the stigma and create a community where everyone feels
comfortable reaching out for help. We believe taking this step to declare Mental Health
Matters Month in our community will show that the Oneida Nation is an ally and
supportive leader in these efforts.
We hope you will join us in raising awareness and putting an end to the stigma.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS
ACCOMPLISHMENT #1
Summary:
Community and organizational buy-in will be formed and economic sustainability will be
promoted.
Impact:
The Board continues to meet monthly and attend the Resident Council meetings when able. By
attending the latter, the Board can hear concerns directly from the residents and can attempt
to solve issues or bring up concerns to other areas such as the Business Committee or include the
issue on an agenda at the next regular board meeting.
ACCOMPLISHMENT #2
Summary:
Continue to update the education of the Anna John Resident Centered Care Community Board
members.
Impact:
Currently the Board receives monthly updates from the Nursing Home Administration about what
is happening at the nursing home, and the Board provides feedback and asks questions they
may have.

GOALS
LONG-TERM GOAL #1
Work with the Nursing Home Director and staff to build a stronger relationship and improve
communication.
Strong Governing Systems and Cultural Relevancy
Update on Goal:
It is the intention of the Board to work on building a strong relationship with the Nursing Home
Director, and Administration. It is discouraging for the Board that the Director chooses not to
attend the monthly Board meetings, some Administration requires multiple reminders for reports;
some of which are either turned in late or not turned in at all. The Board will be working with the
Legislative Reference Office and the Board’s legal counsel to review their By-laws and
determine how to move forward with the Director and Administration so that relevance of the
Board is understood and not dismissed.

home.

conference information from the Elder Services Manager or the Oneida Nation Commission on
Aging.
QUARTERLY GOAL #1

and Administration. It is discouraging for the Board that the Director chooses not to attend the
monthly Board meetings, some Administration requires multiple reminders for reports; some of

and come up with a solution so that the Board can build a stronger relationship with the Nursing
Home Director in a positive and professional manner that works in the best interest of the
