North Carolina would set aside $319 million yearly for Medicaid

The state would set aside $319 million in recurring General Fund money each year, plus related receipts, for Medicaid. The money would go to the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Health Benefits. The money would cover projected changes in enrollment, the types of people enrolled, care costs, payments to health plans, and federal funding shares. The recurring funding would begin with each fiscal year of the 2025–2027 budget period. If enacted, the act would take effect retroactively to July 1, 2025.
