Tailored Plans
What are Tailored Plans?
A Tailored Plan is an integrated health plan for individuals with significant behavioral health needs or intellectual/developmental disabilities. Tailored Plans are required to contract with a licensed prepaid health plan, such as Carolina Complete Health.
Beginning April 1, 2026, Carolina Complete Health will be serving all four Tailored Plains: Alliance Health, Partners Health Management, Trillium Health Resources, and Vaya Health.
- Alliance and Vaya will continue managing their own provider networks. Carolina Complete Health will continue contracting for physical health providers for Trillium and Partners.
- For Alliance and Vaya, Carolina Complete Health will provide Nurse Advice Line services.
- For Trillium and Partners, Carolina Complete Health will continue to process physical health claims*, provide utilization management functions, serve in a secondary care management role for some members, provide Nurse Advice Line services, and some of the other same services and supports that have historically been provided. *Trillium intends to pay its own physical health claims as early as 7/1/2026.
Beneficiaries who qualify for a Tailored Plan are auto enrolled into a Tailored Plan based on their region. This model for the Tailored Plans went live on July 1, 2024, and until that point, they are considered Local Management Entities (LMEs). Tailored Care Management went live on December 1, 2022.

Effective October 1, 2026
Effective October 1, 2026, Partners Health Management and Vaya Health will merge to form Vaya Partners, and Carolina Complete Health will be contracted with that newly merged organization for Nurse Advice Line services only.
On that date, Carolina Complete Health’s scope of work with Trillium Health Resources will shift, and Trillium will begin to pay their own physical health claims, support some utilization management functions independent of Carolina Complete Health. Other utilization management services will continue to be managed by Carolina Complete Health or its delegated vendor. This includes DME, LTSS, PCS, PDN, Home Health, and Hospice. Centene Vision, EviCore, Evolent, and TurningPoint will also continue to manage UM services as they do currently after the October 1 transition for Trillium. Trillium will also take on some provider relations’ responsibilities with the physical health provider network they continue to lease from Carolina Complete Health.
Carolina Complete Health will continue to provide Nurse Advice Line services to Alliance Health.
Contracting
Providers are encouraged to contract with each Tailored Plan in their service area, but it is not required. However, PCPs who contract with fewer Tailored Plans risk losing beneficiaries.
Partners and Trillium leverage the Carolina Complete Health physical health provider network. A physical health provider wishing to participate in the Partners or Trillium Tailored Plan network should complete the contract request form with Carolina Complete Health.
Alliance and Vaya and Alliance have their own provider networks. A provider wishing to contract with Vaya or Alliance should contact the Tailored Plan.
- Alliance Provider Support: 855-759-9700
- Vaya Provider Support: 1-828-225-2785 ext. 1512
