- Abstract:
- On July 1, 2021, North Carolina began the first phase of its Medicaid program overhaul by transitioning care for nearly 1.6 million Medicaid beneficiaries, including parents and children, pregnant women, and aged, blind, and disabled populations not covered by Medicare, from a fee-for-service delivery system (also known as Medicaid Direct) to risk-based managed care. This shift is part of a larger Medicaid Transformation initiative that aims to provide better-integrated services that address both the medical and unmet social needs of Medicaid enrollees. The Urban Institute, with funding from the Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust, is studying the Medicaid managed-care transition and its impacts on access to and quality of care and disparities in health outcomes among Medicaid beneficiaries. This brief follows up on a report from the pre-implementation period that examined preparations for Medicaid managed-care implementation and beneficiaries’ awareness of the upcoming changes to the Medicaid program. Drawing on information collected from key informants and focus groups with Medicaid beneficiaries in the winter and spring of 2022, we document their early experiences of and perspectives on the transition to Medicaid managed care and lessons learned.
