- If no action is taken by the reverification due date, NC Medicaid participation for that provider will suspend and ultimately terminate.

Why Keep NCTracks Provider Records Current
The ongoing accuracy of provider enrollment information is contractually required of providers and essential to ensure notifications regarding provider participation are received. It is also vital to the successful sharing of provider data among health plans and to correctly displaying the availability of services in NC Medicaid and the prepaid health plan (PHP) provider directories.
Although important for all providers, it is critical that individual providers affirm that the correct Office Administrator is actively managing the provider record and responding to notifications of required actions. NCTracks will place notifications into the Provider’s secure Message Inbox and send an email to the email address of record. If this contact information is incorrect, notifications are not received, and the record is at risk of suspension or termination.
In addition, NC Medicaid has announced the development of a new provider data management and credentialing verification organization solution. Data from the current provider record will be converted into the new system, making it imperative that information be current.
Providers may utilize the Manage Change Request process on the NCTracks secure Provider Portal Status and Management Page to review their record and make applicable updates. If additional assistance is needed, contact the NCTracks Call Center at 800-688-6696.
Provider Ombudsman
The health plan grievance and appeal process for providers can be found in the health plan’s Provider Manual, linked on the Health Plan Contacts and Resources page.
The Provider Ombudsman service is separate from the health plans’ process and should be used only as an escalation after contacting health plans and seeking guidance through the NC Medicaid Help Center.
Inquiries may be submitted to Medicaid.ProviderOmbudsman@dhhs.nc.gov or by calling the NC Medicaid Managed Care Provider Ombudsman at 866-304-7062.
Responses to inquiries may be autogenerated from ServiceNow to the inquirer’s email, or received from a Provider Ombudsman team member interested in helping to resolve your inquiry. When your inquiry is considered resolved and closed, a final email with subject line “NC Medicaid Inquiry COM00XXXXX Has Been Closed” will be sent from Medicaid.HelpCenter@dhhs.nc.gov.
