AmeriHealth Caritas, Carolina Complete, Healthy Blue, UnitedHealthcare and WellCare have joined the platform, described by the state’s Health and Human Services department as “the first statewide coordinated care network to electronically connect those with identified needs to community resources and allow for a feedback loop on the outcome of that connection.”

“NCCARE360 is critical to the department’s goal of effectively delivering health, not just health care, by addressing the medical and non-medical drivers of health, including housing, food, transportation and interpersonal safety,” the state’s Medicaid Deputy Secretary Dave Richard told WNCT. “Medicaid health plans will use NCCARE360 to help address the unmet resource needs of their members and strengthen partnerships between health care providers and their communities.”

The platform was established in June 2020, according to HHS.
