the directory,” Freedman said.
“We have changed the format and
appearance of this section based
on what our customers tell us
they want and need. It contains
most of the same informa

read because we’ve used grouped
related topics and larger type.
You will also find several
charts to guide you where to go
for various telephone services,” he

Of Medicaid Program
State Receives Recognition For Its Administration
Raleigh - Human Resources
Secretary Phillip J. Kirk Jr
announced that North Carolina has
received recognition for quality in
administering its federal Medicaid
program.
“We recently received official
work from the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services noting
the success of North Carolina's
efforts in reducing errors in our
Medicaid program,” Kirk empha
sized. “During the period of April
September, 1985, only 1.4 percent of
the payments for those eligible were
made in error. This was below the
national tolerance level of three
i - —-—
percent for the same period.”
Seventy-three counties did not
have any reported errors during this
time, which is a record success rate.
The case rate is based on the
number of eligibility errors.
North Carolina Medicaid
Director Barbara D. Matula pointed
out that the counties have done a
superb job in reducing Medicaid
errors, and in ensuring that only
those citizens who are eligible
actually receive the needed
Medicaid services.
“Medicaid quality control is
designed to ensure that public funds
are spent only for people who are
eligible under federal and state
laws, that claims are paid correctly,
and that Medicaid is the payer of
last resort,” Matula stressed
The data produced by the quality
control staff within the Division of
Medical Assistance gives the state
the number of causes of errors so
that corrective action can be taken
to reduce future errors and pre
vent dollar losses.
She explained that Medicaid
provides health care for low
income elderly, dissabled, and blind
citizens, or to families with depen
dent children.
Financed by federal, state, and
county funds, Medicaid services are
rendered by medical care providers
across the state. These services
include immunizations for children,
hospital and physician care, dentai
services, and long-term care for the
elderly and disabled.
The N.C. Department of Human
Resources' Division of Medical
Assistance has full responsibility for
administering the state’s $760
million Medicaid program, includ
ing eligibility determination and
quality control Eligibility is
determined by the state’s 100 county
social services departments.
