Managed Care Medicaid

Medicaid is changing July 1, 2021!  There are new Medicaid insurance health plans in North Carolina and you need to pick a Medicaid insurance health plan so that your child can continue to be cared for by our office.
You should have already received a letter and additional information from North Carolina Medicaid’s Enrollment Broker.  This letter gives you information on the changes and asks you to choose a Medicaid insurance health plan and primary care physician (PCP) or one will be chosen for you.
Our practice is serving the following Medicaid insurance health plans:

WellCare of NC, Inc.
United Healthcare Community Plan
Healthy Blue
AmeriHealth Caritas of NC

You can find additional information and enroll at https://ncmedicaidplans.gov/enroll. After choosing a Medicaid insurance health plan, you will then choose a primary care practice (PCP). If you want to continue to be seen by Blue Ridge Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine, Inc., make sure to select us or one of our providers as your PCP.
Remember if you do not choose a Medicaid insurance health plan or a PCP by May 15, 2021, you will be auto assigned to a plan and practice that may not be us.
If your child sees any specialists you should also contact those offices to see which Medicaid health plans they will be accepting.
If you have questions after you receive this information, please call the Enrollment Broker at the number listed on the packet or our billing office.
