Medicaid Reform Public Hearings

The Department held 12 public hearings across the state from March 30 through April 18, 2016. Each session began with a brief Medicaid reform plan presentation, followed by the opportunity to give input on the draft Medicaid Reform waiver application (Section 1115 demonstration waiver). Hundreds of people attended the hearings to listen to the presentation and share thoughts on the draft NC Medicaid Reform plan.

Although the public hearings (and the official public comment period) have ended, the Department welcomes additional thoughts about the Medicaid reform plan. Comments can be shared by U.S. Mail, email, U.S. mail or phone.
