What does NC InCK mean for families?

NC InCK works to improve children’s health and well-being, allow children to be at home in safe and nurturing families, and invest public dollars in new ways that focus on more meaningful measures of child well-being.

  • Children are automatically enrolled in NC InCK based on their age, where they live, and their insurance. Parents do not to do anything extra to enroll their child in NC InCK.
  • Children will still be able to see the same doctors and receive the same services. NC InCK is working to make more supportive services available to more families and to connect the teams who work with children so that children’s supports are better coordinated.
  • Some families in NC InCK have the option to work with a Family Navigator, who in most cases will be a care manager assigned to your family by your Medicaid plan or health care provider. For these families, a Family Navigator can support them in achieving their health and well-being goals for their child and coordinating the care team that the family identifies to support their child.
  • Some families will also have access to tools available in NC InCK, like a Shared Action Plan, which helps all of your child’s care team members know your top goals for your child’s health and well-being. The NC InCK Integrated Care Platform is another tool that NC InCK care managers to more easily share documents and information with your child’s integrated care team.
