Medicaid Options in North Carolina
North Carolina provides Medicaid coverage through its Medicaid program, known as NC Medicaid, to ensure access to essential healthcare services for eligible individuals and families.
- NC Medicaid Program: NC Medicaid is the state's Medicaid program, administered by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. It offers comprehensive healthcare coverage, including doctor visits, hospital care, prescription medications, preventive care, and more, to low-income individuals and families.
- Medicaid Managed Care: North Carolina has implemented Medicaid managed care, which involves contracting with managed care organizations (MCOs) to deliver healthcare services to Medicaid beneficiaries. The MCOs have networks of healthcare providers, including primary care physicians, specialists, hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies, ensuring access to necessary medical services.
- NC Medicaid Transformation: North Carolina is undergoing a Medicaid transformation process to transition to a managed care system called Medicaid Managed Care. This change aims to improve care coordination and health outcomes for Medicaid beneficiaries while providing more predictable costs for the state.
- NC Medicaid Eligibility: Eligibility for NC Medicaid is based on income, household size, and other specific criteria. The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services oversees the eligibility determination process and provides resources and assistance to help individuals understand their eligibility criteria and apply for Medicaid coverage.
Health Insurance Marketplace Options in North Carolina
Residents of North Carolina have access to health insurance options through the Health Insurance Marketplace, known as the Health Insurance Marketplace of North Carolina. It offers a variety of plans to meet the healthcare needs of individuals and families.
- Qualified Health Plans (QHPs): The Health Insurance Marketplace of North Carolina provides access to Qualified Health Plans (QHPs) from different insurance carriers. These plans offer comprehensive coverage for essential health benefits, including preventive care, hospitalization, prescription medications, and more. QHPs are categorized into different metal tiers (bronze, silver, gold, and platinum) based on the level of coverage and cost-sharing.
- Premium Tax Credits and Cost-Sharing Reductions: Financial assistance is available through the Health Insurance Marketplace of North Carolina to help make health insurance more affordable. Eligible individuals and families may qualify for premium tax credits, which reduce the monthly cost of insurance premiums, and cost-sharing reductions, which lower out-of-pocket expenses like deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance.
- Special Enrollment Periods: The Health Insurance Marketplace of North Carolina has designated enrollment periods during which individuals can enroll in or switch health insurance plans. Certain life events, such as marriage, birth of a child, loss of other health coverage, or a change in income that affects eligibility, may qualify individuals for a special enrollment period outside of the regular enrollment period.
The Health Insurance Marketplace of North Carolina's website and customer support services can assist individuals in exploring their options, comparing plans, and enrolling in suitable health insurance coverage, whether through NC Medicaid or Qualified Health Plans.

Insurance Requirements for Suboxone Treatment
As of 2008, health insurers and group health plans are required, by law, to offer the same level of benefits mental health and substance use treatment as they do for “physical health” (i.e. medical and surgical care). This legal requirement is thanks to the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA). As a result, the majority of insurance plans offer some degree of coverage for medications for addiction treatment (MAT) and medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD), including buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone). Similar to “physical health” benefits, mental health and substance use treatment benefits often have limitations. Depending on your plan, you may have to adhere to certain requirements set forth by your insurer.
Common insurance requirements include:
- Proof of medical necessity
- Prior authorization
- Copayments
- Deductibles
- Yearly visit limits
