North Carolina's seven regional managed care agencies for behavioral health are
receiving $30 million so they can keep a variety of programs running during the
COVID?19 crisis, Carolina Public Press reported March 31. The money, which an
N.C. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) spokesperson said represented
unused Medicaid funds, has been shifted to the state's seven local management
entities/managed care organizations, commonly called LME/MCOs. The LME/MCOs
manage care for beneficiaries receiving mental health, developmental disabilities
and substance abuse services who are on Medicaid, uninsured or underinsured. The
letter also gave the LME/MCOs authority to use up to 15% of risk reserves to
support contracted providers, but with a significant qualifier. The agencies, the
DHHS said, would be able to use their reserves to support providers that are
?maintaining consumers in their existing residential placements, utilizing
telehealth capabilities to the maximum extent possible, providing services that
keep consumers from needing access to emergency departments and inpatient
services, and otherwise making efforts to deliver high?quality services during
this crisis.? The department's caveat that local providers make every effort to
keep their clients out of hospitals is part of a concerted campaign to maintain
as much bed space and equipment as possible as the number of COVID?19 cases
rises.
