MINUTES <br />ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH <br />March 26, 2014 <br />S:\Managers Working Files\BOH\Agenda & Abstracts\2014 Agenda & Abstracts/March Page 5 <br /> <br />To meet the intent of the Medicaid cost settlement process and maximize our cost <br />settlement payments we are recommending setting the charges for the two codes for <br />Maternal Health Global billing (Antepartum Care) at our actual cost. This change will <br />not adversely affect our self-pay patient populations. (Self-Pay patients are billed on an <br />individual basis.) <br /> <br />The BOH members had several questions that were addressed by Dr. Bridger. <br /> <br />Motion was made by Matt Kelm to approve the requested fee changed for the two <br />Antepartum Care billing codes, seconded by Susan Elmore and carried without <br />dissent. <br /> <br />Chairperson Corey reminded all members the Outside Agency Funding Request <br />scorecards are due Friday March 28, 2014. <br /> <br />VII.
