Hunt Jr., Governor H. David Bruton, M.D., Secretary <br />November 30,1998 <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Local Health Director <br />FROM: Chris Hoke, J.D. cN <br />Deputy State Health Director <br />SUBJECT: Medicaid Cost Settlement Reimbursement <br />I am pleased that we are now able to electronically transmit to you this week Medicaid cost settlement <br />funds for fiscal year 1996-97. The attached shows the reimbursement detail for your health department. <br />These Medicaid reimbursement funds are required to be budgeted and expended to further the objectives <br />of the program that generated the receipts. Consistent with this requirement, these Medicaid receipts <br />may be held in reserve for future needs or expended for a variety of public health needs and activities, <br />including but not limited to: <br />expanding the provision of preventive and primary care services to uninsured and under-insured <br />populations; <br />expanding the provision of support services such as interpreter services, care coordination, home <br />visiting and transportation; <br />operating expenses, including medical and laboratory supplies, in programs that generate <br />Medicaid revenue; <br />public information, outreach, and other population based services; <br />capital improvement such as building construction, renovation and repair - if the capital <br />expenditure would benefit public health programs other than programs that generated the <br />Medicaid receipts, a simple cost allocation plan would need to be developed to assure that the. ._ <br />Medicaid receipts are used in the program that generated the receipts -for example, if 80% of a <br />new health department building would house the child health program, Medicaid receipts from <br />the child health program could be used to cover 80% of the cost of the new building; <br />automation of clinical, fiscal and administrative operations, if there is a simple cost allocation <br />plan for allocating costs appropriately to the programs that generated the Medicaid receipts; <br />North Carolina: Host of the 1999 Special Olympics World Summer Games <br />
