Medicaid expansion in North Carolina will begin Oct. 1, if lawmakers can soon enact a budget

Associated Press  

RALEIGH, N.C. — Gov. Roy Cooper’s administration is aiming to extend Medicaid coverage to hundreds of thousands of low-income adults starting Oct. 1, but that date depends on lawmakers completing the last step necessary to implement the expansion legislation he signed into law months ago. The state Department of Health and Human Services revealed on Wednesday that it’s got an agreement with federal Medicaid regulators to begin expansion quickly once elected officials complete what’s needed to carried it out. The Medicaid expansion legislation passed by the Republican-controlled General Assembly in March and signed by the Democratic governor will extend the government-funded health coverage to as many as 600,000 adults who earn too much to qualify for traditional Medicaid but too little to receive even heavily subsidized private insurance. Kinsley said legislative leaders, in particular health-policy chiefs, have been kept in the loop and “are completely aware that I am making this move forward and supported the work we’re doing to help North Carolina.” DHHS said it would have taken 90 to 120 days to implement Medicaid expansion, but the agreement with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid will drop it to 30 days because the state is starting the required public notices for beneficiaries, counties and health care providers, including opening a period for public comments on the state’s plans.
