Medicaid Temporary Flexibilities Due to Hurricane Helene

North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper issued Executive Order 315 on Sept. 25, 2024, which declared a state of emergency for North Carolina in anticipation of potential severe weather caused by the approach of Hurricane Helene. NC Medicaid is committed to North Carolina's response to and recovery from Hurricane Helene. We are working with county and federal partners to make it faster and easier for beneficiaries to receive— and for health care professionals to provide—Medicaid care and services. 

NC Medicaid provider bulletin Update on NC Medicaid Temporary Flexibilities Due to Hurricane Helene – October 1, 2024 describes flexibilities effective Sept. 26, 2024, to Oct. 15, 2024, (unless otherwise communicated by DHHS) for the NC Medicaid program, including NC Medicaid Direct and NC Medicaid Managed Care. Updates will be provided as they become available.
