BACKGROUND
Gaston County Public Health appropriated $350,000 in Medicaid Cost Settlement Funds in the FY 2017 budget. These funds were to be used for renovations at the Highland Health Center. These renovations are no longer required, therefore, the funds earmarked for the renovations are needed for other clinical expenses. The funds will be used for Electronic Health Record system expenses and clinic equipment and supplies. Medicaid Cost Settlement funds are required in the NC State Consolidated Agreement and Medicaid guidelines to be utilized in the area in which they were earned. These are non-County funds.
