NC Managed Care Capitation Rates – Care Management Assumptions
The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services is releasing updated information about the assumptions underlying the care management component of capitation payments to NC Medicaid Managed Care Prepaid Health Plan (PHPs) Standard Plans. The PHP Standard Plan capitation rates developed by the Department reflect its belief that investment in robust community-based care management will drive improvements in care outcomes and achieve greater value from the State’s Medicaid dollar.
Details on the current care management rate assumptions are available in Programmatic Guidance on Care Management Component of PHP Capitation Rates. Additional information is available on the NC Medicaid Advanced Medical Home webpage.
