Hello,

Thank you for your response to my previous inquiry. While I am in receipt of the Department's policies and procedures around the imposition of medical copayments, I have yet to receive documentation that shows the number of individuals charged medical copayments and the total amount of medical copayments received in FY21. In addition, my initial request also included all policies and procedures pertaining to the imposition of room & board fees as well as documentation showing the number of individuals charged room & board fees and the total amount of these fees collected in FY21.

Can you please provide these remaining items from my initial request? Thank you for your time and cooperation in this matter.

Best,
Kelly
