Community Care of North Carolina/Carolina ACCESS (CCNC/CA) is a primary care case management health care plan for a majority of Medicaid citizens of this state. The objective of CCNC is to create community health networks to achieve long-term quality, cost, access and utilization objectives.

The program aid category in which a person receives Medicaid determines if a recipient is mandatory, optional or exempted from CCNC/CA. Medical homes are created by enrolling Medicaid recipients who are eligible to participate and North Carolina Health Choice Children between the ages of 6 through 18 years. CCNC also provides health education to all plan members and assists them in maximizing their own health care through self management. For a history and overview of CA/CCNC, click on the link below.
