To minimize the administrative burden on providers as NC Medicaid transitions to managed care, the Provider Data Contractor (PDC) will supplement the state’s existing provider credentialing data to the Prepaid Health Plans (PHPs). This will support the PHP’s ability to make quality determinations during Medicaid Managed Care provider network contracting activities. The PHPs will make their quality determination policy public once approved by NC Medicaid.
