How do I apply for North Carolina Medicaid

learn

NC Medicaid manages the North Carolina Medicaid and NC Health Choice health care programs, pharmacy benefits and behavioral health services.
North Carolina Medicaid is the program that provides health care to eligible low-income adults, children, pregnant women, seniors and people with disabilities. The program is funded by North Carolina and the federal government.

NC Health Choice is our state's name for the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). It provides health care to eligible children in addition to Medicaid. This program is also funded by North Carolina and the federal government.

A Medicaid beneficiary is an individual who is entitled to receive benefits from NC Medicaid. You become a beneficiary after you apply, are approved and enroll in a benefits program. The NCDHHS website provides information for both current Medicaid beneficiaries and individuals seeking to become a Medicaid beneficiary.

  • I am scared of the dentist but the doctor and staff quickly put me at ease. Very professional and very caring. Took x-rays and developed a treatment plan for me. I had 2 teeth removed and they were very thorough and accommodating in the process. Highly recommend! I had called at least 10 other dental offices and these were the only kind people I spoke with and they helped me the same day!
