Continuing Budget Adjustments.

Summary

The bill expands North Carolina’s Medicaid Healthcare Access and Stabilization Program to include Medicare‑certified freestanding psychiatric hospitals. It creates a new quarterly assessment on those hospitals, similar to the assessments on acute‑care hospitals, to raise the money needed for the added reimbursements. The changes become effective the first assessment quarter after the law is enacted.
