This is the same methodology currently in place between the Orange <br />County Department of Social Services and the UNC Hospitals for the employment of Medicaid <br />workers. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Department of Social Services will bill Medicaid when the client and <br />service meet the eligibility requirements. All other costs for the positions will be billed to the <br />Orange County Schools system. The Orange County Schools system will pay these costs from <br />funds already available in the approved budget. No additional County funds are being <br />requested.
