The budget document hammered out over the last few days by the NC House and Senate was released at 11:05 p.m. last night (Wednesday). The North Carolina Medical Society (NCMS) staff is still reviewing the document and what it means for our members. The Senate will convene at 10:15 a.m. for the first vote on this budget bill. It appears that Medicaid reform discussions will be postponed until after the elections in November. Visit this site throughout the day for updates. Read the budget bill here.
