The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) developed the Advanced Medical Home (AMH) program as the primary vehicle for delivering local care management as the state transitions to Medicaid managed care. The AMH program builds on the Carolina ACCESS program primary care standards for clinical service and access to care.
The AMH program creates a new opportunity for primary care practices to provide care management functions if they attest to meeting certain functional and technology requirements. AMHs may provide these care management services "in-house," they can work with their affiliated health care system, or they arrange with a Clinically Integrated Network, a Care Management vendor, or other population health entity for the provision of the care management functions.
To ensure beneficiaries across the state are receiving high quality care management, DHHS developed standards for AMHs and will be responsible for initially certifying that practices meet AMH criteria.
NC Medicaid has conducted two webinars and will conduct more during the next several months to assist providers through this transition. More information about previous and upcoming webinars will be posted on the AMH training webpage.
Regional Training Forums
NC Medicaid will also offer regional training forums that feature an extended discussion combining elements of AMH 101 and AMH 102 webinars, including a high-level overview of the AMH program and a more detailed look at the transition from Carolina ACCESS to the AMH program. Staff from DHHS will be available on location during these upcoming sessions.
