Reminder: DMA is Now DHB

This is a reminder that effective Aug. 1, 2018, the Division of Medical Assistance (DMA) and Division of Health Benefits (DHB) combined into one division called the NCDHHS Division of Health Benefits. Although the division has a new name, the programs, North Carolina Medicaid and NC Health Choice, remain the same, and are collectively referred to as “NC Medicaid” or simply “Medicaid.”

NCTracks and the Medicaid website are updating content, templates and other information, but providers are encouraged to use both terms when using the search function on the Medicaid website or in NCTracks.
