Joint DMHDDSAS and DHB COVID19 Update for NC Providers Thursday June 11
During this call, panelists will present a structured PowerPoint presentation focused on Appendix K and Retention Payments for the Innovations Waiver including policy updates from DMHDDSAS and DHB representatives followed by an open Q&A session.  In addition to DMHDDSAS and DHB subject matter experts we will also have a representative from DHSR on the call to answer questions you might have.  In consideration of the limited time we have on the call, we ask that you review the guidance link (below) on the DHHS website and FAQs on the NC Medicaid site to see if an answer to your question has already been provided.
