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