NC Medicaid Working to Make it Faster and Easier to Receive Care and Services

North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper issued Executive Order 311 on Aug. 5, 2024, declaring a State of Emergency for North Carolina in anticipation of potential severe weather caused by the approach of Tropical Storm Debby.
NC Medicaid issued a statement on Wednesday in response to services and recovery from Tropical Storm Debby. In the statement, NC Medicaid says  it is working with county and federal partners to make it faster and easier for beneficiaries to receive — and for health care professionals to provide— Medicaid care and services.
Medicaid provider bulletin NC Medicaid Temporary Flexibilities Due to Tropical Storm Debby describes flexibilities effective from Aug. 6, 2024, to Aug. 20, 2024 (unless otherwise communicated by DHHS), for the NC Medicaid program including NC Medicaid Direct and NC Medicaid Managed Care. Updates will be provided as they become available.
