Posted by NCTracks on Behalf of Dave Richard 

 

Dear provider,

Today, the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) announced the selection of Prepaid Health Plans that will participate in Medicaid managed care when the program launches in November 2019. Statewide PHP contracts were awarded to AmeriHealth Caritas North Carolina, Inc.; Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina; UnitedHealthcare of North Carolina, Inc.; and WellCare of North Carolina, Inc. A regional contract for Regions 3 and 5 was awarded to Carolina Complete Health, Inc. More information is available on the PHP Contract Awards Fact Sheet.

Please note that this procurement is for the Standard Plans, in which 1.6 million Medicaid Managed Care beneficiaries will be enrolled. Tailored Plans, designed for certain populations with more specialized behavioral health needs, will be procured later.

Secretary Cohen will be holding a Stakeholder Call to provide an update on the transformation to Medicaid Managed Care, including the PHP contract awards:
