Managing Care Transitions in Medicaid: Spotlight on Community Care of North Carolina (Issue Brief)

Mathematica health experts collaborated with staff at the Kaiser Commission for Medicaid and the Uninsured to author this brief, the second of three case studies examining key operational aspects of coordinated care initiatives in Medicaid, which focuses on the Transitional Care Program conducted by Community Care of North Carolina (CCNC). CCNC is a medical home program that serves 83 of all North Carolina Medicaid beneficiaries. The Transitional Care Program identifies high-risk enrollees when they are admitted to a hospital, and plans, coordinates, and arranges their transition back to the community.
