North Carolina

North Carolina established one of the first statewide PCMH networks in the country through Community Care of North Carolina (CCNC). CCNC served as an early model for improving health care delivery through a strong model of community-based primary care teams in partnership with public health and both public and private payers of heatlh care. CCNC leaders describe the evolution of the program and key partnerships on their website. Supported through legislation (Session Law 2010-31), CCNC continues to serve as the anchor program in North Carolina for most of its health improvement and cost-containment efforts including Care Coordination for Children (CC4C), Dual-eligible initiative, Multi-payer Advanced Primary Care Practice Project (MAPCP), and Palliative Care Initiative, just to name a few. All of these programs continue to build on the CCNC medical home approach to care. The state's participation in the MAPCP demonstration ended 12/31/2014.
