After the presentation, members were provided time for comments and questions.
3. Home Health Discussion - Action Required
Mr. Jenkins shared that after the home health presentation by Mr. Gary Massey, CPA with CliftonLarsonAllen, LLP at the commissioner's retreat last Friday, he was tasked with more questions concerning home health that the board would like answered. He shared those questions with board members and explained that he and other staff are working to gather information and also shared information that had been gathered which addressed some of these questions. The concern is while home health patient numbers have increased over the last several years, the fund balance has decreased. There was discussion that Stanly County Home Health is the only home health agency that offers Medicaid pediatric therapies in Stanly County and how Medicaid reimbursements are lower than Medicare or private insurers. There was also discussion contemplating if Stanly County Home Health should only serve pediatric patients, but more information would be needed to determine if that would be feasible. Mr. Jenkins stated that Mr. Massey did convey that historically, when other counties no longer operate a home health agency, other agencies step up to serve the pediatric Medicaid and indigent population. Mr. Jenkins shared that we have invested money in new software to enhance billing and revenue is actually good right now but there are questions about the big picture when considering the decreasing fund balance.
After a period of discussion and questions, Chair Lowder suggests that staff contact other home health agencies which serve Stanly County to inquire if they serve pediatric patients, gather information on other questions and come before the board at the April meeting for further discussion.
