North Carolina

North Carolina established one of the first statewide PCMH networks in the country through Community Care of North Carolina (CCNC). CCNC served as an early model for improving health care delivery through a strong model of community-based primary care teams in partnership with public health and both public and private payers of heatlh care. CCNC leaders describe the evolution of the program and key partnerships on their website. Supported through legislation (Session Law 2010-31), CCNC continues to serve as the anchor program in North Carolina for most of its health improvement and cost-containment efforts including Care Coordination for Children (CC4C), Dual-eligible initiative, Multi-payer Advanced Primary Care Practice Project (MAPCP), and Palliative Care Initiative, just to name a few. All of these programs continue to build on the CCNC medical home approach to care. The state's participation in the MAPCP demonstration ended 12/31/2014.

Medicare Health Care Quality Demonstration Programs - North Carolina Community Care Networks

Medicare Health Care Quality (MHCQ) Demonstration Programs are designed to examine the extent to which major, multi-faceted changes to traditional Medicare's health delivery and financing systems lead to improvements in the quality of care provided to Medicare beneficiaries, without increasing total program expenditures.

Chronic Pain Management Program - Mountain Area Health Education Center

The Mountain Area Health Education Center, serving 16 counties in Western North Carolina, is receiving a CMS Health Care Innovation Award to test team-based enhanced primary care for patients with chronic pain, whose treatment can be both costly and avoidably frequent. The target population for the test includes over 2,000 patients. The intervention will create multidisciplinary teams to provide enhanced primary care, using mid-level providers to co-manage care and providing counseling and medication management services.
