Equity in North Carolina Medicaid

The overarching objective of the UNC CHER Medicaid Equity project is to develop the capacity and vision within NC Medicaid, necessary to lead and carry out the work of equity reform in policy. North Carolina Medicaid is undergoing a transformation of services, launching several health care initiatives, including Standard Plans, Tailored Plans, EBCI Tribal Option, Foster Care Health Plan and the Healthy Opportunities Pilot. Each of these initiatives incorporate health equity throughout their design and implementation. To most effectively incorporate health equity within North Carolina Medicaid and elicit accurate responses, external stakeholder engagement is required to determine how Medicaid policies can be improved.
