EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

This final report points out that the North Carolina Division of Medical Assistance (DMA) made payments totaling $5.3 million (Federal share) for school-based, health-related services to Local Education Agencies using a methodology that was not included in its approved State Plan. These conditions occurred because DMA exercised minimal oversight of the activities of its revenue maximization subcontractor.  We recommended that the DMA refund the Federal share of any overpayment resulting from a planned monthly payment cost settlement process and exercise more oversight over the activities of its revenue maximization subcontractor.
