The Healthy Opportunities Pilot: How Care Managers Can Obtain Pilot Consent

This module will provide Care Managers updated guidance on the Healthy Opportunities consent process and requirements per Pilot updates made in January 2023. Learners will review the requirements and steps they need to take to obtain member consent, be able to describe next steps should member's consent or not consent, and explain procedures and policies for member information sharing and storage.

Length of live event: 60 minutes

The Framework:

North Carolina's Healthy Opportunities Pilot program is an unprecedented opportunity to test the integration of evidence-based, non-medical interventions into the state's Medicaid program. The Pilots will provide non-medical services to qualifying Medicaid members across four domains: housing, food, transportation and interpersonal violence/toxic stress. Critically, frontline care managers working in Pilot regions will play an essential role in identifying members that may benefit from Pilot services, recommending appropriate services and coordinating their care.
