North Carolina Medicaid: HealthChoice/CHIP alert
Update: Contact and questions section updated to reflect new chat services
Your patients with UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of North Carolina under North Carolina Healthchoice (NCHC)/Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) will transition to full Medicaid on April 1, 2023.
What this means for you
This means those patients will begin to have access to all Medicaid services that may have been previously excluded under the NCHC/CHIP plan.
The claims and prior authorization request process will remain the same for these patients as well. For more information on these processes, you can visit our claims page and prior authorization page.
