Attention Primary Care Providers interested in becoming Advanced Medical Homes in NC Medicaid Managed Care

The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) developed the Advanced Medical Home (AMH) program as the primary vehicle for delivering local care management as the state transitions to Medicaid managed care. The AMH program builds on the Carolina ACCESS program.

The AMH program requires prepaid health plans (PHPs) to delegate certain care management functions to AMHs at the local level. In order to provide these care management functions, AMHs may work with their affiliated health care system or make an arrangement with an entity called a Clinically Integrated Network, a Care Management vendor or other population health entity. To ensure that beneficiaries across the state are receiving high quality care management, DHHS developed standards for AMHs and will be responsible for initially certifying that practices meet AMH criteria.

NC Medicaid will conduct training to assist providers through this transition during the next several months.
