NORTH CAROLINA ASSOCIATION OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br /> <br />215 N. DAWSON ST. , P.O. BOX 1488 · RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA 27602 · TELEPHONE 9~9~832-2893 <br /> <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Chairmen/Managers <br /> FROM: C. Ronald Aycock, Executive Director <br /> DATE: October 31, 1979 <br /> SUBJECT: Medicaid Budgets <br /> <br /> Governor Hunt has pledged to seek a $5 million appropriation <br /> in the 1980 Short Session of the General Assembly for distribu- <br /> tion to the 80 counties which were adversely affected by the <br /> shift in the formula for payment of rest home/nursing home <br /> costs. The appropriation will recompense the counties for the <br /> negative effects oC the formula shift. <br /> <br /> At its October 26 meeting, the Association Board discussed <br /> the status of counties payment of the 1978-79 Medicaid cost <br /> overruns. It was pointed out'that several counties still had <br /> not made arrangements'with the State to either pay the 1978-79 <br /> Medicaid cost overruns or accept interest free loans from the <br /> State for those overruns. <br /> <br /> It is the belief of the Board of Directors that the General <br /> Assembly is much more l~kely to appropriate the $5 million <br /> if all c6unties have made settlements with the State. The <br /> Association Board, therefore, urges each county to either <br /> pay the 1978-79 Medicaid cost overruns, or make arrangements <br /> for an interest free Stake loan. <br /> <br /> <br />
