More Funds Needed For Medicaid In South Carolina
South Carolina officials seek an additional 575000 to 600000 from the 1970 General Assembly as nursing home Medicaid costs rise beyond the anticipated. A tentative contract with the Nursing Home Association lowers per patient cost from 1257 to 1039, affecting over 3500 participants. The state spends over 38 million on the program with about 23 million from federal share. Governor McNair pledges a six month study to reassess Medicaid for the next fiscal year.
