Adanya -

Good Afternoon.

The information that falls under the Health Care Information Systems Act will take approx.. two hours to research at $50.00 as an estimate for a total of $100.00. Once the research begins if any issues arise that might make the process take longer, the staff from Health Care Information Systems would be in contact with you.

The information that falls under the Open Records Act will take approx. 2-3 hours to research, at $25.00 per hour, that would be $50.00 - $75.00. There will most likely be between 50 - 60 pages produced, at $0.25 per page, that cost will be between $12.50 - $15.00.

The total cost range is approx.. $162.50 - $190.00 to produce the information.

Please let me know how you would like to proceed.
Thanks!!!

Don is no longer with this agency. We are in a transition of our General Counsel. I've sent out an email requesting
an update. Several are out this week for various reasons. I currently, do not have answers for you after the last email to
you from Don Maisch regarding costs. It could be a bit of time before there are further answers.

My only roll is to track these, assign numbers & close. I'll advise once I have more info.
