RALEIGH, (SGRToday.com) - With Medicaid reform helping to stabilize the program by containing costs associated with the state's behemoth medical insurance program for the poor, the person leading the division will address the media Tuesday.

Health and Human Services Secretary Rick Brajer will answer questions about the reform efforts following today's meeting of the  Joint Legislative Oversight Committee Meeting on Medicaid and NC Health Choice.

The legslative committee will meet at 9 am.

The media event is scheduled for 1 p.m. in Legislative Office Building Room 306B.

Published reports say health officials will tell lawmakers that Medicaid is under budget by $181 million as of December 2015. That would be a reversal from years of cost overruns.
