NC Medicaid Managed Care On Hold

The NC General Assembly has adjourned without providing the budget/authority for the planned transition to Medicaid managed care. Managed care will NOT go live on Feb. 1, 2020. If you have Medicaid, your benefits are still in place, and you may continue seeing your current providers without a disruption in service. Call us if you have questions, and learn more from Pisgah Legal COO Jackie Kiger in this BPR story.
