NC Navigator Consortium

Care Share, the NC Community Health Center Association and NC Navigator Consortium were honored to have NC Governor Roy Cooper and NC DHHS Secretary Kody Kinsley speak at our final Medicaid Expansion Regional Training in Haywood County. Medicaid Expansion in NC would not have been possible without the fierce advocacy of Governor Cooper and Secretary Kinsley, and their words of encouragement to enrollment assisters and community based organizations helping every North Carolinian who qualifies for Medicaid get enrolled were much appreciated! #ncmedicaidexpansion #healthjustice #healthequity

Last week, the NC Navigator Consortium, with our Triangle area partner Advance Community Health, welcomed Governor Cooper, HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra, Congressman Wiley Nickel and NCDHHS Secretary Kody Kinsley to mark three months since Medicaid Expansion was implemented in North Carolina. Since Dec. 1, more than 346,000 North Carolinians have gained full, comprehensive health coverage that covers doctor visits, specialist visits, prescriptions, vision, dental, all with $0 premiums and $4 copays. "There's peace of mind that comes when you can get the healthcare you need." Secretary Becerra said. Governor Cooper echoed this, emphasizing the transformative effect Medicaid expansion has had on access to vital healthcare services. During the roundtable, two new Medicaid beneficiaries explained how their health coverage is life changing, not only for them, but so many in communities across North Carolina. The NC Navigator Consortium is proud to spearhead Medicaid Expansion implementation efforts with Care Share Health Alliance, the North Carolina Community Health Center Association, and NC Department of Health and Human Services to connect all newly eligible Medicaid beneficiaries to quality, comprehensive coverage made available through Expansion.
