Evacuation, Medical Care and Sheltering, Legal Responsibility

Legal Responsibility

HEADNOTES

To be eligible for reimbursement, emergency protective measures costs must be directly tied to the performance of eligible work and adequately documented.

CONCLUSION

The Applicant has not demonstrated that certain costs were directly tied to eligible emergency work, except in the amount of $1,332.00 for previously approved patient meal costs, which are ineligible because the costs are below the minimum threshold amount of $3,200.00 for 2019. In addition, the Applicant did not take reasonable efforts to verify that other sources of funding, including private insurance, Medicaid, or Medicare, have been pursued and do not exist for the costs associated with emergency medical care and emergency medical evacuations. Therefore, this appeal is denied.
