Hunt Jr., Governor - H. David Bruton, M.D., Secretary - Ann F. Wolfe, M.D., M.P.H., Director <br />September 91998 <br />MEMORANDUM <br />To: Local Health Directors <br />Local Social Services Directors <br />From: Tom Vitaglione "�d-r+n, Y <br />Re: Outreach Allocations <br />As noted earlier, $200,000 has been identified to support in part the efforts of your local <br />Outreach Coalitions to identify children for enrollment in both Health Check and NC <br />Health Choice. <br />The allocation formula distributes $50,000 to each county on an equal basis ($500 per <br />county), and the remaining $150,000 based on the county's percentage of the 71,342 <br />children estimated to be eligible for NC Health Choice. For administrative efficiency, <br />funds will be made available through the "child health" component of health department <br />contracts with the Division of Women's and Children's Health. This will allow for <br />immediate expenditures, even before contract budget revisions are processed. <br />Please note that health department budget revisions and a "Scope of Services" indicating <br />how these funds will be used for outreach purposes should be sent to Carol Tant in our <br />Division. Expenditures should be jointly planned by your Outreach Coalition. <br />Expenditures can be made for virtually anything that enhances outreach efforts. <br />We know that your outreach efforts will go far beyond these small allocations. <br />Nevertheless, we hope these funds will be helpful as we seek to enhance access to health <br />insurance for our children. <br />TV /nl <br />c: DWCH — Division Management Team and NC Health Choice Staff <br />DMA NC Health Choice Management Team <br />DSS — Kevin Fitzgerald and John Tanner <br />Healthy Start Foundation — Health Check/NC Health Choice Campaign Office <br />North Carolina Family Health Resource Line <br />Regional DWCH Social Work and Child Health Nurse Consultants <br />Medicaid Program Representatives <br />Dennis Harrington, Chief of Local Health Services <br />101 <br />f� , <br />North CarvUnx Host of the 1999 Special O&Mpw World Sr -Mer Games <br />
