| | Hot Topics | March 20, 2025 | | The NC General Assembly has earmarked $5 million for capacity building for NC Medicaid-enrolled primary care practices across the state to adopt Collaborative Care Management (CoCM). Eligible primary care practice sites can qualify to receive up to $50,000 to support implementation of the model in-house, $30K for practices that have already adopted the CoCM model in-house and want to expand, or $20K for practices that plan to newly adopt the CoCM model by outsourcing to an external vendor. To date, 27 practices have been awarded funding to start their new CoCM Services! To apply, interested practices should connect with AHEC’s Practice Support Coaches. For more information about the funding opportunity, as well as more information about the Collaborative Care Management model, visit CCNC’s website. | | Learn More About What's Happening in Your Community | | | |
