Care Coordination for Children (CC4C) is an at-risk population management program that serves children from birth to 5 years of age who meet certain risk criteria. The main goals of the program are to improve health outcomes and reduce costs for enrolled children. The CC4C Program began March 1, 2011 as a partnership between Community Care of North Carolina (CCNC), the NC Division of Public Health (DPH) and the NC Division of Medical Assistance (DMA).
Each child served by CC4C is linked to a specific Medical Home and CC4C Care Manager. The Care Manager works closely with the local medical practice serving as the child’s Medical Home to coordinate roles and responsibilities and ensure the child obtains necessary care. CC4C staff also work in close collaboration with their local CCNC networks to access care management histories, Medicaid claims and other vital records, and to coordinate care management services. CCNC networks also assist in quality improvement and in evaluating program effectiveness.
