Pilkington, Health Director <br /> <br />September 1, 1993 <br /> <br />Carolyn B. Carpenter, Chairman <br />Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners <br />P. O. Box 707 <br />Concord, NC 28026°0707 <br /> <br />Dear Mrs. Carpenter: <br /> <br />In official session on August 26, 1993, the Cabarms County Board of Health <br />reviewed the new Medicaid reimbursement rates for services being provided at the <br />health department (see attached). The rates are effective retroactively to July 1, <br />1993. Each time rates are increased it is required that they must be approved by the <br />Board of Health and the Board of Commissioners. The Board of Health voted <br />unanimously to approve a policy that would allow the health department to change <br />Medicaid rates and charges, whether up or down, as soon as possible. It is <br />requested that the Board of Commissioners consider adopting an identical policy so <br />that billing changes can be made as soon as possible to enhance the realization of <br />increased revenues. <br /> <br />In addition, the Board of Health approved the purchase of Human Rabies vaccine at <br />a cost of $31.50 per dose to be provided to local veterinarians and their employees. <br />The Board of Commissioners would need to appropriate the monies to provide this <br />vaccine. <br /> <br />Also, the Board of Commissioners needs to schedule a portion of the September 20 <br />meeting for an executive session with legal counsel regarding the landfill siting <br />study. <br /> <br />Please place the above items on the commissioners' next agenda for consideration. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />William F. Pilkington <br />Health Director <br /> <br />Attachment <br /> <br /> <br />
