Starting July 1, nearly 1.6 million Medicaid beneficiaries in North Carolina began receiving the same Medicaid services in a new way through NC Medicaid Managed Care health plans. Most beneficiaries will continue to get care from the same doctors they saw previously, but they will now be a member of a health plan. Some beneficiaries did not enroll with health plans and are remaining in NC Medicaid Direct.

NC Medicaid Managed Care means most Medicaid beneficiaries will receive the same Medicaid benefits in a new way – through a health plan’s provider network.
