Provider Transition to Medicaid Managed Care

NC AHEC has partnered with the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services and Division of Health Benefits to help transition healthcare providers to Medicaid Managed Care. We are providing on-site comprehensive Medicaid Managed Care education and assistance to healthcare providers across the state. More information and resources are also available on the NC Medicaid Website for Providers

NC HealthConnex

NC HealthConnex is the state-designated health information exchange that will enable you to more effectively manage population health and clinical outcomes. Let us help you navigate this platform and new features as they roll out. With NC HealthConnex, you can access your patients’ comprehensive records across multiple providers and review labs, diagnostics, history, allergies, medications, and more. You can eliminate duplicative testing, make more efficient and accurate diagnoses, and improve coordination across all levels of care. 

In addition to in-person and virtual trainings that can be scheduled with any of the nine AHEC regions, NC HIEA and NC AHEC are collaborating to build out a training library of go-at-your-own-pace video training modules that will provide NC HealthConnex participants with valuable training and use cases to support adoption and utilization of the state-designated HIE.

CMS Quality Payment Program (QPP) and Merit-based Incentive Program (MIPS)

NC AHEC and Alliant Quality are working together to help small practices in North Carolina understand and successfully participate in the CMS Quality Payment Program (QPP) and the Merit-based Incentive Program (MIPS). This support for QPP and MIPS is available at no cost to you. You can access free online resources at qpp.cms.gov or reach us for local, in-state support at QPPSupport@ncahec.net.

Promoting Interoperability Program (EHR Incentive Program or Meaningful Use)

Our NC AHEC practice coaches can help you select, implement and optimize a certified Electronic Health Record (EHR). We provide education and guidance on program year eligibility, requirements, and possible incentive payments. Let us help you learn how to best use your EHR as a tool to improve care, patient satisfaction, and care delivery.
