NC MEDICAID MANAGED CARE PLANS
If you receive Medicaid:
Most people will get the same Medicaid services in a new way – through health plans. You will be able to choose the health plan that is best for you. A health plan is a group of doctors, hospitals, and other providers. They work together to give you the health care you need. Everything will come from the same health plan. This includes physical health, behavioral health, and medicine. Some health plans provide added services like programs to help you quit smoking.
Beneficiaries who did not select a health plan during open enrollment, which ended on May 21, were auto-enrolled in a plan. NCDHHS’ auto-enrollment process prioritized existing relationships between beneficiaries and their primary care provider and, where possible, a plan that has contracted with that provider was selected for the beneficiary. Confirmation notices and health plan welcome packets will be mailed to beneficiaries through June 12. Beneficiaries have until Sept. 30, 2021, to change plans for any reason.
|
|
Who must choose a health plan?
Most people in NC Medicaid must choose a health plan in the NC Medicaid Managed Care program. Some people can choose to stay in NC Medicaid Direct. They will not need to choose a health plan. NC Medicaid Managed Care will send you a letter that tells you if you must enroll. To find out now, call NCDHHS at 1-833-870-5500 (TTY: 1-833-870-5588). The call is toll-free. Or use the chat tool to chat with us online. To learn more about NC Medicaid Managed Care, go to Get answers.
Even if you already chose a health plan, you will need to choose again. If you don’t choose a health plan, we will choose one for you. You know your needs best, so it’s better if you choose.
Plans are scheduled to go live on July 1, 2021. However, you may still change your plan up until September 30, 2021, for any reason. After that, unless there is a special reason, beneficiaries must wait until their next Medicaid recertification date to change health plans.

BOOST YOUR CONFIDENCE
If you have low self-esteem or your confidence has been threatened in some way, here’s what the experts say you can do to boost morale:
-
Stay focused on you.
- You should do the best you can to stay on-task and focused. Confidence emerges from time-honored good work combined with a great attitude.
- Identify your strengths and capitalize on them.
- One of the best ways to build confidence is to get clear on your strengths and find ways to integrate those strengths into what you do every day. When you lead from your strengths, you’re engaged, energized, and self-assured.
- Identify weaknesses, and work on them.
- If there are weaknesses that are affecting your confidence, make a plan to reduce or eliminate them. You shouldn’t obsess over these things—but know that addressing your weaknesses and making a diligent effort to overcome them can help boost confidence.
-
Believe in yourself.
- It may be easier said than done, but try to tell yourself “I can do this,” and believe it. Try saying three affirmations to yourself each night before going to bed–telling yourself three things that you like about yourself or three things that went well that day.
-
Closely monitor your successes.
- Keep track of your daily accomplishments-- try making a “to-do” list. This way, when you cross tasks off your list, you’re more aware of your constant achievements.
