NC DHHS Releases State-funded Services White Paper
On December 30, 2019, the NC Department of Health and Human Services released a white paper, “North Carolina’s Design for State-funded Services Under Behavioral Health and Intellectual/Developmental Disability Tailored Plans.” The policy paper details the Department’s vision for the delivery of State-funded behavioral health, I/DD, and TBI services, as well as the continuation of critical “local health functions” (functions focused on health prevention and promotion) under Behavioral Health I/DD Tailored Plans.
While the implementation of managed care has been suspended as legislative action is needed to move forward, the Department continues to work on the design of Tailored Plans to serve individuals with behavioral health and intellectual disabilities in lieu of Standard Plans.

The Department of Health and Human Services asks that comments on the policy paper be shared with the Department by January 29, 2020. Comments should be directed to Medicaid.Transformation@dhhs.nc.gov.
