Medicaid Transformation Hits Milestone
|
June 28th marked another milestone for Medicaid Transformation when the NC Enrollment Broker website went live. Medicaid beneficiaries can now go to ncmedicaidplans.gov to find out much more about the move to Medicaid and Health Choice managed care.
The NC Enrollment Broker is responsible for education and outreach to Medicaid and Health Choice beneficiaries on the plans and benefits available to each individual. It is their responsibility to work with the beneficiary to find the plan that best fits the needs of that individual. The NC Enrollment Broker is offering multiple ways for beneficiaries to learn more about their options under managed care including the website, toll-free number, chat line, mobile app and education events across the state. The NC Enrollment Broker role has been contracted out to Maximus.

Carolina Cares bill.
