| 7 |
| Sec. 4. Financing for Community Services. | 8 |
| (a) The Department of Human Services
is authorized to
| 9 |
| provide financial reimbursement to eligible private service | 10 |
| providers,
corporations, local government entities or | 11 |
| voluntary associations for the
provision of services to persons | 12 |
| with mental illness, persons with a
developmental disability | 13 |
| and alcohol and drug dependent persons living in the
community | 14 |
| for the purpose of achieving the goals of this Act.
| 15 |
| The Department shall utilize the following funding | 16 |
| mechanisms for community
services:
| 17 |
| (1) Purchase of Care Contracts: services purchased on a | 18 |
| predetermined fee
per unit of service basis from private | 19 |
| providers or governmental entities. Fee
per service rates | 20 |
| are set by an established formula which covers some portion

| which makes some
allowance for geographic variations in | 23 |
| costs as well as for additional program
components.

| (2) Grants: sums of money which the Department grants | 2 |
| to private providers or
governmental
entities pursuant to | 3 |
| the grant recipient's agreement to provide certain
| 4 |
| services, as defined by departmental grant guidelines, to | 5 |
| an
approximate number of service

| (2.5) Provider Agreements: funding agreements between | 10 |
| private providers, including but not limited to providers | 11 |
| of early intervention services as defined in Section 3 of | 12 |
| the Early Intervention Services System Act, and the | 13 |
| Department of Human Services in which the Department | 14 |
| purchases services from a private provider.
| 15 |
| (3) Other Funding Arrangements: funding mechanisms may | 16 |
| be established
on a pilot basis in order to examine the | 17 |
| feasibility of alternative financing
arrangements for the | 18 |
| provision of community services.
| 19 |

| grants shall be increased by a percentage increase equivalent | 21 |

services. | 12 |

| disability services, mental health services, alcohol and | 17 |
| substance abuse services, rehabilitation services, and early | 18 |
| intervention services. The Office of the Governor shall provide | 19 |
| staff support for the commission. | 20 |
