Tailored Plans will now start October 1, 2023
NC Medicaid changed the start date for Tailored Plans. The new start date is October 1, 2023. Until October 1, 2023, you will keep getting services the way you do now.
To make sure beneficiaries have choices for care, the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) changed the start of the NC Medicaid Managed Care Behavioral Health and Intellectual/ Developmental Disabilities (I/DD) Tailored Plans (Tailored Plans) to October 1, 2023. This will give the Tailored Plans time to add more providers.
Beneficiaries who were enrolled in the Tailored Plans will keep getting behavioral health services, I/DD and traumatic brain injury (TBI) supports through their Local Management Entity/Managed Care Organizations (LME/MCOs) until the Tailored Plans start. They will keep getting physical health and pharmacy services through NC Medicaid Direct.
