The state’s long awaited transformation to Medicaid managed care took place this week To aide in finding the resources and help you may need in this transition, the NCMS, working with our partners, has compiled necessary resources and a form to submit with any issues you encounter during this change. Access the page here. In other legislative action, several bills the NCMS supports including one regulating pharmacy benefits managers and one providing enhanced resources for school nutrition programs moved. Also, SB711- the NC Compassionate Care Act, which deals with medical marijuana unanimously passed the Senate Judiciary Committee this week. Watch as Sue Ann Forrest, MPA, NCMS Director of Legislative Relations, offers more information on the NCMS position on this and other important legislation.
