•
Address lost revenue associated with the reclassification of Piedmont Geriatric and Catawba hospitals Decision Package
  Increases the appropriation for Piedmont and Catawba state facilities to reflect a change in enrollment from hospitals to nursing homes for the purposes of Medicaid reimbursement to comply with federal requirements. In March of 2014, the federal Inspector General for Health and Human Services released a report indicating these two hospitals were not in compliance with federal Medicaid rules. This change reflects the savings from lower Medicaid reimbursement, mainly due to the loss of eligibility for disproportionate share hospital funding. This increase is partially offset by a reduction in Medicaid reimbursement in the state facility line item in the Department of Medical Assistance Services.
