RE:
Proposed Fee Policy and Fee Schedule for
New Hanover Health Department
~I
Attached is the fee policy, sliding fee scale, and recommended fees
for New Hanover County Health Department that were recommended for approval
by the Fee Policy Committee at its meeting on August 31,1982..
This report has been developed in accordance with State requirements,
particularly those outlined in G.S. 130-17. It also considers local charging
practices and limitations set by third-party payors, particularly Medicaid
and Medicare.
This document provides a solid basis for a fee program. It includes all
existing charges, modifications recommended by Health Department staff in
Spring 1982, and limitations set by the third-party payors in the Memorandum of
Agreement signed between the Department and'the North Carolina Division of
Health Services in 1980. It provides for a uniform billing and charging
program that could be coordinated by a single staff person and carrièd
out by clerical staff at four locations: Animal Control, Environmental
Health, Home Health and the Clinic.
