The exam components are more limited than a full developmental <br />and medical exam under Medicaid guidelines. The limited exam includes a <br />history, urine test, hematocrit, vital signs, immunizations as needed and <br />physical exam. In the case of Kindergarten physicals, a developmental <br />assessment and hearing and vision exams are included. Clients eligible for <br />Medicaid will be provided a traditional Health Check examination and those <br />unable to afford the fee will be enrolled in our child health program on a sliding <br />fee scale. Proposed flat fees based on cost: Sports/Camp Physicals - $35; <br />Kindergarten Physicals = $40. Residents desiring this service would be required <br />to “pay up front” for the service to hold down the billing costs. <br /> <br />Motion to approve additions to the fee schedule as stated was made by Mel Hurston, <br />seconded by Kate Wilder, and carried without dissent. <br /> <br />2. “Men as Navigators” Grant Letter of Support <br /> <br />UNC in partnership with three community groups is submitting a grant proposal <br />to the CDC to address Men’s Health in each community.
