Medicaid Managed Care Partnership for Children and Families Specialty Plan

The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, through its Division of Health Benefits, is seeking a qualified partner to develop and operate the Children and Families Specialty Plan (CFSP), a statewide integrated Medicaid Managed Care plan designed to address the comprehensive healthcare needs of children, youth, and families involved in the child welfare system. The plan aims to provide seamless access to a broad spectrum of services, including physical health, Behavioral Health, Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD), Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS), pharmacy, and unmet health-related resource needs, ensuring continuity of care even when members change geographic locations. The CFSP will work closely with County Departments of Social Services and other stakeholders to minimize disruptions and deliver timely, appropriate care tailored to this vulnerable population. The procurement process involves multiple sections of a detailed Request for Proposals (RFP), with a response deadline set for May 2, 2024. The contract emphasizes the importance of coordination across various health services and requires proposers to demonstrate their capacity to meet the complex needs of the target population. The initiative is part of North Carolina’s broader efforts to improve health outcomes for children and families served by the child welfare system through a comprehensive, integrated managed care approach. Interested parties can find additional details and submit proposals through the designated procurement contact and online portal.
