The motion was: "Rosetta Moore motioned to authorize the Director to sign the Title XIX Medicaid Participation Agreement between the Orange County Health Department and the Department of Human Resources, Division of Medical Assistance and to bring the Department into full compliance with this agreement by October 1, 19O0_ The w motion was seconded by Evelyn Lloyd and passed unanimously." The Board now refers the matter to the Commissioners as the Commissioner's representative must also be a signee in order to execute a legal contract. Attached is an explanation of the issue furnished the Board for their dis- cussion and a copy of the Agreement. The Board's chosen method of bringing us into compliance in this impossibly short time frame is to cease billing Medicaid for EPSDT. We will, however, con- tinue to provide EPSDT. When the Division of Health Services furnishes us more guideline and we have explored our capacity to change our fee-for-service practices, the Board will then deliberate this portion of the total situation. Therefore, the Commissioners can expect to receive a detailed recommendation from the Board regards expanded fees--for-service at a later date. JR 99 !� Attachments: 2 I s
