What is our purpose?
To connect, educate and support diverse organizations interested in or affected by Medicaid transformation in North Carolina
With the pending transition to Medicaid Managed Care from NC Medicaid’s current fee-for-service model, it is important for all North Carolinians – particularly Medicaid beneficiaries and community-based organizations that engage with them – to have the most current and accurate information about what is happening, an understanding of how Medicaid transformation may impact their communities, and opportunities to improve the system by sharing consumers’ thoughts, concerns and experiences.
What do we value?
- Diversity
- Innovation
- Community-driven Solutions
- Trust and Relationships
- Transparency and Accountability
- Shifting Power Dynamics
- Shared Leadership
- Collaboration
What will you gain by being a part of this statewide effort?
- Accurate, up-to-date information related to Medicaid transformation
- A community of diverse organizations that are committed to improving the health of North Carolinians
How can you strengthen the work of the Collaborative and ensure its success?
- Be an active participant by regularly attending meetings in person or via teleconference. Members of the Collaborative will help to determine the frequency and duration of meetings as well as key topics of discussion.
- Ensure the bilateral transfer of information. Share with other Collaborative members what you are hearing from consumers about the effects of Medicaid transformation, and take information learned during Collaborative meetings back to your organization and the communities you serve.
- Serve as an ambassador by sharing the benefits of participating in the NC Collaborative on Medicaid Transformation with other organizations and inviting new stakeholders to the table.
