Appropriate $593,635 into Medicaid Cost Settlement Special Projects Account from Medicaid Cost Settlement Fund balance.
BACKGROUND
The Gaston County Department of Health and Human Services - Public Health Division received funds for the FY2013 Medicaid Cost Settlement audit as an interim payment in the amount of $ 2,800,759. The NC Division of Medical Assistance (DMA) recently completed the final FY2013 desk review audit and due to changes and revisions made by DMA with the formulas and Medicaid charges, Gaston County Public Health was notified that $ 593,635 was owed back to the Medicaid Program. As a result of the DMA changes made to prior year Medicaid Cost Settlement audits, the NC legislature awarded funds to the health departments in payback situations to offset the loss of the Medicaid Cost Settlement funds. These funds will be used as payment to DMA for the amount owed for FY13. These are Non-County funds.
