SAMIS REIMBURSEMENT DETAIL REPORT

SAMIS Users - As many of you may already be aware, changes have been made to the SAMIS Reimbursement Detail Report. The orientation of the report has changed from portrait to landscape, due to additional columns that were recently added.

Please know that the CSC is aware of this change and do not want you to spend any of your valuable time attempting to adjust the report back to portrait. The landscape view is the new acceptable format.


Adjusted Units of Service
The “Adjusted Units of Service” module is intended to allow billing for unforeseen incidents and is only to be used in rare instances. Recently numerous requests have been made for minor adjustments and multiple adjustments which effect quality assurance and undermine the internal controls for both the CSC and providers.

Therefore, effective May 1, 2012:
Providers may request up to two adjustments per contract year. CSC will accommodate adjustments of one or more full units per client (no partial unit adjustments) to the last invoice submitted, only. All requests for adjustments must be approved by the CSC’s Fiscal and Program Services Departments.


It is preferred that an invoice to be submitted a little late but correct, than for it to be early and incorrect. Please contact your Program Specialist for assistance with any invoicing concerns.

All SAMIS users,
The Children's Services Council of Broward County is committed to providing a secure SAMIS technology environment and protecting the data of all our providers and children we serve. The world of cyber theft gets more sophisticated every day, so we are taking a proactive stance by implementing new password and Helpdesk request policies. These policies closely align with best practices regarding data security and service requests. The changes include creating and maintaining strong passwords; the frequency for changing them; and maintaining an audit trail for all support requests. These policies will go into effect on May 20, 2015.

Helpdesk 1. All SAMIS related support requests, should be submitted via email to helpdesk@cscbroward.org. the system will reply with a helpdesk ticket # and status update notifications.
2. In case of emergency, please send the email then call 954-377-1000 Ext 1111, Please do not use the emergency line to circumvent the system.
3. If you call for support, without a ticket # we will not be able to assist you.

Password
1. In order to ensure strong passwords that cannot be 'guessed' by password cracking programs, your new password will need to conform to the following rules:
• Must be minimum 8 characters in length.
• Must contain at least one upper case letter.
• Must contain at least one special character.
• Must contain at least one number.
• Passwords are case sensitive.
• The system will require a mandatory password change every 90 days.
• The system will notify you 14 days prior to mandatory password change.
• The system will lock out account after 3 failed login attempts.
• The system will remember your last 5 passwords, and not allow you to re-use them.


Example: Children#1

Thank you for your support and all the great work that you do to support Broward’s children and families.

IMPORTANT REMINDER

Flex funds may be used to meet individual client needs that present barriers to program participation and success by providing emergency financial assistance to address the threat of foreclosure, eviction, or termination of utility services; temporary child care expenses; home repairs, food, clothing, back to school supplies, bus passes or gas cards or other services/commodities.

Value-added funds should be used to pay for other creative strategies that support the goals of the program and improve participant participation and commitment. Food/refreshments for group activities and incentives, such as gift certificates or tickets to games or shows, are some examples.
