N.C. Health Insurance Premium Payment Program 
Online Health Insurance Information Referral Form
Federal regulations require Medicaid to be the “payer of last resort.” This means that all third party insurance carriers, including Medicare and private health insurance carriers, must pay before Medicaid processes the claim. Additionally, providers must report any such payments from third parties on claims filed for Medicaid payment.
This Third Party Insurance Code list can be used to determine the name and billing address of a third-party insurance company.
The Health Insurance Premium Payment (HIPP) program is designed for Medicaid recipients with high-cost illnesses such as, chronic heart problems, end-stage renal disease, congenital birth defects, cancer, etc.
These recipients are often at risk of losing private health insurance coverage due to nonpayment of premiums. DMA will consider the benefit of paying health insurance premiums if it is found to be cost-effective.
