A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

AN ACT to allow the department of health and human services to expand the capitated 1915(b)/(c) medicaid waiver to additional local management entity catchment areas, as recommended by the joint legislative oversight committee on mental health, developmental disabilities, and substance abuse services.

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

SECTION 1.  Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, the Department of Health and Human Services may expand the capitated 1915(b)/(c) Medicaid waiver to any additional local management entity catchment area upon demonstrating to the satisfaction of the General Assembly that the expansion (i) is allowable under Medicaid, (ii) will result in savings to the State, and (iii) will provide outcomes equal to or better than those that could be achieved without the proposed expansion.

SECTION 2.  This act is effective when it becomes law.
