Online publication The Hill reported this week that a new Zogby International-University of Texas Health Science Center poll found that more than half of the respondents wanted lawmakers to start from scratch on health care reform legislation.
Governor Bev Perdue announced last Friday that North Carolina would receive $26.5 million dollars in federal recovery funds to facilitate health information exchange (HIE) at the state level and to aid health professionals as they work to implement and use health information technology (HIT).
This year, North Carolina is required to participate in an administrative and medical audit of its Medicaid and State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) programs as part of the national Payment Error Rate Measurement (PERM) program implemented by CMS.
