Asset: Property and service rights, measurable in terms of money, which the entity acquires for their economic benefit or value.

Building: The basic structure, shell and additions. The remainder is identified as fixed equipment. Land costs are not depreciable and should be excluded from building costs.

Capital Expenditure: The acquisition of both property and equipment having a useful life which extends over more than one accounting period. A capital expenditure either adds a fixed asset unit or increases the value of an existing fixed asset. Expenditures benefiting only the current year should be treated as an operating expense.

Closely allied entities (CAEs): Closely allied entities include corporations, partnerships, unincorporated associations or other bodies that have been formed or are organized to provide financial assistance and aid for the benefit of the service provider or receive financial assistance and aid from the service provider.

Community Support Programs (CSP revenue): Medicaid revenue that is added to the Medicaid rate of certain OMH outpatient programs in proportion to the amount of community support program state and local net deficit funding that has previously been replaced by CSP. This Medicaid revenue is regulated in law 14NYCRR Part 588.

Comprehensive Outpatient Programs (COPS revenue): Medicaid revenue that is added to the Medicaid rate of certain OMH outpatient programs in proportion to the amount of state and local net deficit funding that has previously been replaced by COPS . This Medicaid revenue is regulated in law 14NYCRR parts 592.

Controlling Party: Any person or organization who by reason of a direct or indirect ownership interest or designated responsibility (whether of record or beneficial) has the ability, acting either alone or in concert with others with ownership interest or designated responsibility, to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of a corporation, partnership or other entity. Neither the commissioner nor any employee of DMH, SED nor any member of a local legislative body of a county or municipality, nor any county or municipal official except when acting as the administrator of a program shall, by reason of his or her official position, be deemed a controlling party of any corporation, partnership or other entity. For SED purposes, "Controlling Party" shall have the same meaning as "less-than-arm's-length relationship" as defined in Section 200.9 of the SED Commissioner's Regulations.

Department of Mental Hygiene (DMH): The agency in New York State charged with the responsibility for providing services for the care and treatment of mental illness, mental retardation and developmental disabilities, alcoholism and substance abuse as well as the prevention of such conditions.

Depreciation: The process of writing off the acquisition cost of a fixed asset over the estimated useful life. Depreciation is the decline in economic potential of limited life assets originating from wear and tear, natural deterioration through interaction of the elements, and technical obsolescence. Refer to Appendix O - Guidelines for Depreciation and Amortization.

Disproportionate Share Income (DSH): Disproportionate Share Income (DSH) Legislation (Bill #5550-A, 1997-98 Budget initiative) signed by the Governor in 1997 allows for the Office of Mental Health and the Office of Alcohol and Substance Abuse Services to replace net deficit financing with Disproportionate Share Funding in Article 28 voluntary non-profit general hospitals. Payments shall not exceed such general hospital’s cost of providing services to uninsured and Medicaid patients after taking into consideration all other Medical Assistance received, including disproportionate share payments made to general hospital and payments from and on behalf of such uninsured patients and shall also not exceed the amount of State Aid and Local Aid Grants for which the hospital or its successor would have been eligible pursuant to Articles 25 & 41 of the Mental hygiene Law for fiscal year 1996-97.

Expensed Adaptive Equipment: Includes the costs of all adaptive equipment purchased during the CFR reporting period with a value of less than $1,000 or a useful life of less than two years.

Federal Grants: Sources of revenue in the form of grants received directly from the federal government to support service provider programs.

Federal Medicaid Salary Sharing: A Medicaid revenue. Through the Federal Medicaid Salary Sharing program, counties can be reimbursed for part of the cost of county staff time related to the management of certain aspects of mental health or mental retardation Medicaid Programs. (Costs associated with staff who operate medical programs or who provide direct care are, however, not included).

Fixed Equipment: Includes attachments to buildings, such as wiring, electrical fixtures, plumbing, elevators, heating and air conditioning systems, etc. The general characteristics of this equipment are: a) affixed to the building and not subject to transfer; and b) minimum useful life of two years, but shorter than the life of the building to which affixed.

Fund Raising: All expenses associated with the activities a service provider may use to supplement its revenues in obtaining contributions, gifts, grants, etc. All fund raising and special events expenses (personal services, leave accruals, fringe benefits, OTPS, equipment and property) are to be included as "other programs" (column 7) on Schedule CFR-2 and the appropriate operating expenses (personal services, leave accruals, fringe benefits and OTPS) included on Schedule CFR-3, line 48.

Historical Cost: The cost at date of acquisition of an asset, less discounts plus all normal incidental costs necessary to bring the asset into existing use and location.

Immediate Family: A relationship including brother, sister, grandparent, grandchild, first cousin, aunt or uncle, spouse, parent, or child of such person, whether such relationship arises by reason of birth, marriage or adoption.

Improvement(s): A capital expenditure which extends or improves the useful life of an asset or improves it in some manner over and above the original asset. Thus, if an expenditure adds years to an asset's useful life or improves its rate of output, it would be considered an improvement. In contrast, a maintenance or repair expense is not capitalized.

In-Contract vs. Out of Contract: Programs that are approved to receive Aid to Localities net deficit funding on the Consolidated Budget Report (CBR) are designated as in-contract (i.e., utilizing one of the funding codes listed in Appendix N, except for the non-funded code 090), while programs not receiving Aid to Localities net deficit funding (i.e., utilizing funding code 090) are regarded on the CBR as out-of-contract.

These costs should not include agency and program administration costs, but should include community service board costs.

Maintenance in Lieu of Rent: Expenditures should include the rent of premises or the cost to own and maintain the premises. If the building is occupied jointly with other tenants, this cost should be allocated on the basis of the service provider's proportionate share of the total usable square footage of the building.

Medicaid: A revenue category representing payments received for services to eligible participants under the combined Federal/State program which pays for medical care for those who cannot afford it, regardless of age.

Medicare: A revenue category representing payments received for services to eligible participants under the Federal programs which pay for medical care for those 65 years old or over and/or disabled under Title II and in receipt of Social Security disability benefits for 24 months.

Not-for-Profit Organization: A group, institution, or corporation formed for the purpose of providing goods and services under a policy where no individual (e.g., trustee) will share in any profits or losses of the organization. Profit is not the primary goal of not-for-profit entities. Profit may develop, however, under a different name (e.g., surplus, increase in fund balance). Assets are typically provided by sources that do not expect repayment or economic return. Usually, there are restrictions on resources obtained. All income and earnings will be used exclusively for the purpose of the corporation and no part shall inure to the benefit or profit of any private individual firm or corporation.

Organizational Expense: Expenditures incurred in starting a business. They include attorney's fees and various registration fees paid to State governments. The total of all the expenditures is considered to be an intangible asset. Theoretically, these expenditures may benefit the company throughout its operating life, but must be amortized. Refer to Appendix O for amortization rules.

Salvage Value: The amount expected to be realized upon the sale or other disposition of the asset when it is no longer useful to the program.

Site Specific Methodology: An accepted cost development and reporting methodology in which costs of programs are related to specific sites where services are provided, as opposed to aggregating and averaging costs for all sites (cost averaging).

State Grant: A revenue category which represents income from State agencies other than OASAS, OMH, OMRDD and SED.

0710 - Community Education & Intervention

A program providing services limited to dissemination of information about alcohol abuse and alcoholism studies to groups, organizations or individuals suffering from alcoholism and their significant others. Referrals to service providers and short-term counseling incidental to the provision of information and/or referral may also be provided. Intensive prevention/educational services may be provided to persons evaluated by a qualified evaluator, and not diagnosed to be suffering from alcoholism or found to be in need of treatment. This may include staff support and assistance for family-based, planned interventions.

Units of Service: Not applicable.

0720 - Youth Education & Intervention

A program providing alcohol and drug abuse education and intervention services for young people with problems. Additional intensive program activities are also offered for high risk persons, including children of alcoholic families in order to eliminate the high risk status of these groups, if evaluated not to be in need of alcoholism treatment. Linkage for persons in need of treatment to appropriate services is also a function of these programs. These programs may be based in schools or community based youth agencies.

Units of Service: Not applicable.

0808 - Administrative

0810 - Case Management

Activities aimed at linking the client to the service system and at coordinating the various services in order to achieve a successful outcome. The objective of case management in a mental health system is continuity of care and service. Services may include linking, monitoring and case-specific advocacy.

Linking: The process of referring or transferring a client to all required internal and external services that include the identification and acquisition of appropriate service resources.

Monitoring: Observation to assure the continuity of service in accordance with the client's treatment plan.

Case-Specific Advocacy: Interceding on the behalf of a client to assure access to services required in the individual service plan. Case management activities are expediting and coordinative in nature rather than the primary treatment services ordinarily provided by a therapist.

Case management services are provided to enrolled clients for whom staff are assigned a continuing case management responsibility. Thus, routine referral would not be included unless the staff member making the referral retains a continuing active responsibility for the client throughout the system of service.

Units of Service:

Direct staff hours: The number of staff hours spent by staff in providing case management services face-to-face or by telephone directly to clients or collaterals.

Indirect staff hours: The number of staff hours spent by staff in providing case management services on behalf of clients other than face-to-face or by telephone directly with clients or collaterals.

A program consisting of organized activities designed to ensure that persons who are charged with an alcohol-related driving or other criminal offense are screened and evaluated for the need for alcoholism treatment. Some activities are carried out directly by criminal justice agencies, and others by the staff of a local governmental unit (LGU) to ensure that appropriate treatment services are made available to persons identified to be in need. Included in this category are LGU coordination activities related to alternatives to incarceration and non-treatment interventions. This category does not include DMV-certified programs for drinking drivers often operated by local councils on alcoholism, which may also be used for intervention purpose.

Units of Service: Not applicable.

0890 – Local Governmental Unit (LGU) Administration

The Local Governmental Unit is defined in Article 41 of the Mental Hygiene Law. This program category includes all local government costs related to administering mental hygiene services that are provided by a local government or by a voluntary agency pursuant to a contract with a local governmental unit. LGU Administration is funded cooperatively by OASAS, OMH and/or OMRDD. As such, this program is reported as a shared program on the core schedules (CFR-1 through CFR-6) of the CFR. LGU Administration expenses and revenues related to each State Agency are reported on State Agency specific claiming schedules (DMH-2 and DMH-3).

2020 - Primary Care Alcoholism Program (Alcohol Crisis Center)

A program providing inpatient care in a medically supported environment until clients are safely alcohol-free and can be referred to an appropriate treatment program. Persons admitted to this program may present a need for withdrawal from alcohol but will not require medical services at the time of admission. Length of stay is generally 3 to 14 days. Supportive services are provided by the program during the time necessary to link clients with needed treatment and rehabilitation services. Continued stay beyond three to five days is based on the availability of a suitable alternative environment in which effective treatment can be continued. When operated in an alcoholism treatment center, these programs may provide medical detoxification which is not provided in a freestanding program based in an alcohol crisis center.
