Feedback Wanted on Your Experiences with LME/MCO Services

The NC Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) wants to make it easier for people to get mental health, substance use, intellectual/developmental disabilities (I/DD), and traumatic brain injury (TBI) services through Local Management Entity/Managed Care Organizations (LME/MCOs), also called Tailored Plans. They would like to hear about your experience with LME/MCO services.

Please take a short survey by Friday, December 22, 2023. Your feedback is important!

Announcement from NC DMH/DD/SUS

Join us each month to learn about policies and programs that affect the MH/IDD/SU/TBI community. The goal of this webinar is to bring everyone together in one (virtual) place. This group includes consumers, families, advisory groups, LME/MCOs, community members, and partner organizations. 

Side by side, people will work together to better understand and improve our system. We will listen closely to one another, and we will share ideas for public policy that will improve lives in NC.
