Box 1528 <br />Sanford, North Carolina 27331-1628 PHYLLIS MANGUM LOWRY, RN, MPH <br />Telephone: 919.775-3603 Health Director <br />Memo <br />To: Lee County Board of Commissioners <br />From: Phyllis M. Lowry, Health Director/ <br />Date: 08/07/98 <br />Re: Budget Amendment <br />The Lee County Board of Health met Wednesday night, 8/5/98, and unanimously <br />agreed to bring $25,836 out of escrow to go into our Child Service Coordination <br />(CSC) and Maternal Health budget; ($12,918 each budget). This money will be used <br />to "seed" a part-time position in our MCC/CSC program. The Maternal Care <br />Coordination and Child Service Coordination are two program activities that provide <br />Medicaid reimbursements sufficient to pay for the cost of the employee providing the <br />service. I have an excellent employee who would like to work part-time and already <br />has the training needed to provide the reimbursable services. We are still not <br />reaching the projected number of eligible participants due to lack of staffing. This <br />60% position would allow us to serve more clients at a lesser cost per client as we <br />would not be responsible for paying health insurance for this employee (other <br />benefits are prorated). <br />Please approve bringing the $25,836 out of escrow for our CSC/MH budget. <br />Thank-you. <br />PML/bs <br />0 Page 1 <br />
