Client Contributions

The Code of Iowa governs financial responsibility of the individual committed to a private, public, or state hospital.  For other service areas, the Clinton County Board of Supervisors may compromise the amount the individual is responsible to repay Clinton County.

Clinton County will not require client contribution for services provided through the HCBS Waiver for persons with Mental Retardation.

Clinton County shall use the following formula to determine client participation by the individual.  Third party insurance does not count toward the cost of the service.  Clinton County will coordinate with the individual and their service provider of the need to contribute to the cost of their services based upon financial information provided on a current application for their co-payment.  The individual shall only be required to contribute an amount that does not bring their income below 150% of the poverty guidelines.  The guidelines established are based on the annual U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Federal Poverty Levels and will be in effect July 1st of each successive year.  In Clinton County, the Clinton County Central Point of Coordination Administrator determines that determination of financial responsibility for an individual to contribute toward the cost of his/her services.

If an individual's household gross income is at or below 150% of the Federal Poverty Levels (FPL), no individual participation will be required.
  • If an individual's household income is between 150% and 185% of the FPL, individual participation will be 10% of the cost of the service;
  • If the individual's household income is between 185% and 200% of the FPL, individual participation will be 20% of the cost of the service;
  • If the individual's household income is between 200% and 300% of the FPL, individual participation will be 30% of the cost of the service;
  • If the individual's household income is at or above 300% of the FPL, the individual must pay 100% of the amount of his/her services.
