The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) opened enrollment for NC Medicaid Managed Care Monday. The new plans will go into effect July 1. About 1.6 million of the 2.4 million Medicaid recipients will be eligible for the new choice-driven program.
The General Assembly opted to transition to managed care five years ago after fluctuating costs made it difficult to budget. Care will be managed by primary care providers, who will also coordinate mental and behavioral therapy for patients. The new program will also allow for patient choice, Dr. Mandy K. Cohen, NCDHHS secretary, said.

In 2020, we saw the destruction caused by a pandemic across the United States. There was no place where the impact of COVID-19 was felt greater than the Navajo Nation. With infection rates greater than any state in the country, the Navajo Nation struggled to keep up with the effects the pandemic had on our health care system and our economy. Almost a year later, the situation seems nowhere near ending. Through it all, the Navajo people banded together to fight against the virus and protect our elders, children and families. One of these efforts is the Indian Managed Care Entity (IMCE).
