A Message from NCTracks on Behalf of NC Medicaid NCDHHS Releases Updated White Paper on the Children and Families Specialty Plan

The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services has released its updated white paper on the NC Medicaid Children and Families Specialty Plan, a first of its kind, single, NC Medicaid Managed Care health plan to launch later this year.

A key initiative of the Children and Families Specialty Plan is to ensure access to comprehensive physical and behavioral health services for Medicaid-enrolled children, youth and families served by the child welfare system.

With the recent approval from the NC General Assembly to move forward, the expected launch date of the Children and Families Specialty Plan is later this year. A request for proposal will be issued in the coming weeks to hire the organization that will help manage the Children and Families Specialty Plan.
