NC InCK has been designed in close collaboration with North Carolina Medicaid and aligns with many aspects of Medicaid Transformation (e.g., risk stratification, care management services, quality measures). NC InCK builds upon Medicaid Transformation’s focus on whole person health with the addition of Integration Consultants, tools, and measures that drive improved holistic outcomes for children and their families. NC InCK is overseen in partnership with NC Medicaid to ensure seamless integration with broader transformation activities.
NC InCK is distinct from the Healthy Opportunities Pilots. NC InCK is operating in five specific counties (Alamance, Durham, Granville, Orange, and Vance) that do not overlap with the counties awarded the HOP. The funding that supports NC InCK is different from the funding for the HOP.
