Upcoming Changes to Mask Guidance Effective
March 7th
As we emerge from the latest surge, the COVID-19 landscape looks different today than it did two years ago or even two months ago. NCDHHS has continued to adapt its response to the pandemic based on the emerging science and evidence to best protect North Carolinians. We are learning more about the virus and now have a wider array of effective tools to reduce risk to people.
- Vaccines and boosters are widely available and help protect against severe illness, hospitalization, and death.
- Treatment is available for those at higher risk of severe disease.
- Trends are decreasing, lowering the risk of infection, and improving hospital capacity.
Our goal is to use the tools we have to get back to the people, experiences, and places we love. Therefore, today Governor Cooper and Secretary Kinsley announced that if our trends continue to improve, we will update our guidance on March 7th to focus on the most effective tools to reduce the risk of COVID-19 and to protect those at highest risk of severe illness. As we move forward, we will remain vigilant and respond to changes in the virus so that we are best positioned to reduce the risk of COVID-19 and provide focused support for those most at risk of severe disease and death.
We are announcing this now so that people have time to get prepared and get up to date with their COVID-19 vaccine and booster. The guidance below is effective March 7, 2022.
Individuals
- Stay up to date on COVID-19 vaccines and booster.
- Get tested if you have symptoms or have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 and stay away from others if you are sick or test positive, following isolation guidance.
- Get treatment early if you are at risk for severe illness.
- Wear a mask if you are at high risk for severe illness or if you want an added layer of protection.
- Wear a mask if you have a COVID infection or exposure.
- Wear a mask if you are not up-to-date on your vaccines.
High-Risk Settings (e.g., long term care, correctional facilities, homeless shelters, health care settings)
· Provide vaccines and boosters to residents and staff.
· Provide testing to residents and staff.
· Connect those who are at high-risk for severe illness to treatment.
· Follow all CDC guidance, including recommendations for masking.
Schools
- Promote vaccination for students and staff.
- Participate in the School Testing Program.
- Consider moving to voluntary masking, at the discretion of local authorities, as universal masking is a less important tool in lower risk settings like schools.
Child Care
- Promote vaccination for students and staff.
- Consider moving to voluntary masking, at the discretion of local authorities, as universal masking is a less important tool in lower risk settings like childcare.
Business
- Promote and/or require vaccination for staff and customers.
- Can require masking of staff and patrons at their discretion.

SPECIAL BULLETIN COVID-19 #230: Update on Temporary Rate Increases and HCBS Rate Implementation
Detail on continuing, end-dating and revised rates
Feb. 24, 2022. This bulletin was updated to add fee schedule charts for B3, TBI and ICF-ILOS.
Effective Feb. 28, 2022, NC Medicaid will end all temporary COVID-19 rate increases except those indicated in this bulletin as continuing in some form. Some COVID-19 temporary rate increases in effect in February 2022 will be extended at either current or revised levels through March 31, 2022.
Effective March 1, 2022, NC Medicaid will also implement the Home- and Community-Based Services (HCBS) provider rate increases directed in the Current Operations Appropriations Act of 2021. As described in SPECIAL BULLETIN COVID-19 #214, these increases are intended to support providers in increasing direct care worker (DCW) wages toward a minimum of $15 per hour.
The specific details of each of these COVID-19 and HCBS direct care worker rate actions are listed below.
Continuing or Revised Temporary COVID-19 Rate Increases
NC Medicaid is continuing and/or revising temporary COVID-19 rate increases that will stay in place through the month of March 2022 for certain long-term services and supports and HCBS services not delivered by direct care workers (non-DCW). In March 2022, NC Medicaid will review the need and available funding for the continuing rate increases, which are described below.
Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNF):
The 5% and 10% temporary COVID-19 rate increases will continue to be included in the final SNF rates effective through the month of March 2022. In addition, the uniform rate increase of $47.50 referenced in SPECIAL BULLETIN COVID-19 #220 will continue through the month of March 2022. NC Medicaid will review the need and available funding for the continuing rate increases prior to the end of March.
Personal Care Services (PCS) and Community Alternatives Programs (CAP):
For the month of March 2022, the rate per 15-minute increment will be revised to $5.46 for the following programs:
- Personal Care Services (NC Medicaid Direct)
- Community Alternatives for Children (CAP/C) and Disabled Adults (CAP/DA) Personal Care Services
- Community Alternatives Consumer Direction (CAP/CD) Personal Care Services (formerly CAP/Choice (CAP/CO)
Non-DCW HCBS Services:
The temporary COVID-19 rates for the following services (which were listed specifically in SPECIAL BULLETIN COVID-19 #203) will remain in place for the month of March 2022:
- Home health (all except In-Home Aid, which is replaced by an HCBS increase, as described below)
- Occupational therapy
- Physical therapy
- Respiratory therapy
- Speech therapy/Audiology
Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE):
The 5% temporary COVID-19 rate increase in effect February 2022 for the PACE program will remain in place for the month of March 2022. NC Medicaid will review the need and available funding for the continuing rate increases prior to the end of the month.
Ending Temporary COVID-19 Rate Increases
Effective Feb. 28, 2022, the temporary COVID-19 rate increases for all HCBS providers not otherwise noted in this bulletin are end-dated.
The temporary COVID-19 rate increase for Private Duty Nursing (PDN) is end-dated as of Feb. 28, 2022, and is replaced, effective March 1, by the legislated rate of $11.25 per 15-minute increment.
Effects of COVID-19 Rate Changes on NC Medicaid Managed Care Plans
Local Management Entity/Managed Care Organization (LME/MCO) Rates:
- The LME/MCOs are required by contract to adjust provider reimbursement rates by an amount no less than the associated percentage change in the fee schedule made by NC Medicaid in the NC Medicaid Direct program in response to COVID-19. LME/MCOs will be required to continue and/or revise any temporary COVID-19 payment increases described above as continuing for services covered in the LME/MCO program. The LME/MCOs will also be required to continue the temporary COVID-19 payment increases for certain non-DCW HCBS services, State Intermediate Care Facilities for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (ICF/IID), and some residential care and crisis services covered in the LME/MCO program; or incorporate the permanent, legislated increases for applicable HCBS programs, as summarized below.

Now Accepting Applications: 7th Annual NC Community Transitions Institute
We are pleased to announce that we are now accepting applications for the 7th Annual NC Community Transitions Institute. On the attached documents you will find detailed information about this year’s Institute including the schedule for the sessions and frequently asked questions.
2022 Institute Format
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation, the 2022 Institute will be held as a blended event. Based on infection patterns from 2021 we are structuring this year around those patterns where infection rates in the spring began declining and staying lower in July and early August.. Therefore, the first two portions (Transitions Symposium and Person-Centered Thinking) will be held virtually through Zoom and the last two portions (Motivational Interviewing and Person-Centered Collaborative Communication) will be held as live, face-to-face events in Cary.
We are also expanding the amount of time for the Motivational Interviewing and Person-Centered Collaborative Communication live sessions. Based on past experience, there has been a need for additional time to practice the skills, and this year we are building that additional time into the schedule so that participants can experience a deeper dive.
Also, in recognition of the ongoing COVID-19 situation, we want to ensure that we take all precautions to enable full participation of Institute members. Therefore, we are limiting participation to 50 people this year. We will follow all COVID guidelines that are in place at the time of the live sessions.
Key Details

- Transitions Symposium (Required): April 28 – May 6, 2022 (12:00 – 1:30) – Sessions held virtually through Zoom

Behavioral Health Providers Bridge Mental, Physical Health with HIEs
Behavioral health providers face the challenge of bringing together mental and physical health, but they can bridge that gap with the information flows from NC HealthConnex, the state-designated health information exchange (HIE).
Alexander Youth Network delivers a range of behavioral health treatments for children in North Carolina and relies on NC HealthConnex to understand patients' physical, mental, and social needs and histories.
"To have this information available that provides a full picture of what's going on with a kid is only going to improve the outcomes of their care and help make sure that they're living the most successful life that they possibly can live," said Carolyn Spence, chief information officer for Alexander Youth Network.
Ashley Sparks oversees Alexander Youth Network's 16-bed facility for youth experiencing an acute mental crisis.
"NC HealthConnex is super vital because we're able to see some of the treatment history that gets missed or lost when a family is in crisis. And sometimes our kids have long treatment histories," Sparks said. "We always really want to know where they've been and the kinds of medications have they tried when we're working towards stabilization."
Center nurses use NC HealthConnex to gather an accurate medical history as children arrive. The HIE lets nurses discover their medication histories, previous hospital stays, and other treatments for physical and mental health.
That data helps the center develop the right treatments for children during their stay. Alexander Youth Network can also make sure that the children are placed with families appropriate for their needs and that their next medical providers know their treatment plans.
"There are lots of behavioral health benefits in general to knowing someone's health history because those are the social determinants of health," Sparks said. "Having an accurate treatment history, that's one of the biggest components of NC HealthConnex. … It's critical to know what kind of steps that child has taken throughout their life and where they've been placed."
Alexander Youth Network has operationalized NC HealthConnex in other areas, including gathering information for timely evaluation of referrals and maintaining accreditation. In case of cybersecurity incidents, it can use the HIE to access patients' diagnoses, goals, and medications and rebuild their service plans.
"Along with that, Alexander Youth Network is currently applying to be a care management entity," Spence said. "Having access to HealthConnex and receiving hospital admission, discharge, and transfer feeds is a huge component of that, and we're already ahead of the eight ball."
Spence believes that Alexander Youth Network's experiences with the HIE should urge other behavioral health providers adopt NC HealthConnex and experiment with ways to operationalize it.
"It's really important that we're a part of it because behavioral health agencies need to communicate with each other," Sparks said. "I think we need more venues to connect as behavioral health providers in general."
Connecting to NC HealthConnex is "worth it to ensure that you know you're really doing the best you can for the clients or patients that you're serving," Spence said.

Newsletter • February 2022
Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) is a critical covered benefit for NC Medicaid beneficiaries. This benefit allows beneficiaries to access transportation care services from NC Medicaid providers and is a covered service in both NC Medicaid Managed Care and NC Medicaid Direct. NEMT services consist of arranging and paying for transportation that is medically necessary.
NEMT under Managed Care:
- Individuals will receive the same health services from health plans as they received under NC Medicaid Direct.
- Under NC Medicaid Managed Care, there is no change to the amount, duration and scope of NEMT.
- Individuals may contact their health plan to schedule NEMT services; Each health plan can provide NEMT contact information.
- Prior to NC Medicaid Transformation in July, individuals who frequently used NEMT services were identified (through health plans working with local DSSs), and contacted by their health plans.
Plans must:
- Provide NEMT appropriate for the member to the nearest enrolled medical provider
- Provide NEMT to a NC Medicaid-covered service provider, including services not covered through NC Medicaid Managed Care but provided by a qualified NC Medicaid provider
-
Develop a network of NEMT providers.
NEMT services are free to health plan members. If the member’s child (eligible through age 18) is a member of the health plan, transportation is also covered for the attendant, parent, or guardian. Non-emergency medical transportation includes personal vehicles, taxis, vans, mini-buses, mountain area transports and public transportation. NEMT will be provided to the nearest appropriate medical provider(s) for Medicaid-covered health services.
Process:
-
It is recommended that members call at least two business days before their appointment.
- Drivers will wait up to five minutes after arrival for pick-up. If a member no longer needs transportation to an appointment, the member should call the NEMT broker directly to release the scheduled driver.
-
Travel-related expenses can also be covered, including lodging, food, and mileage reimbursement. To receive reimbursement, the member must call NEMT Broker to schedule the trip in advance of their appointment. NEMT Broker will provide the reimbursement forms and how to submit the required documentation to them for reimbursement.
We encourage beneficiaries who experience a disruption or concern with their NEMT services to contact us. If transportation services are denied, members have the right to appeal the decision. The member will receive a letter from their health plan describing the denial and appeal rights. Beneficiaries can contact the NC Medicaid Ombudsman to receive free and confidential information about NEMT, appeal rights and processes.
You can contact us by:
Each health plan has its own NEMT line for scheduling transportation services. NEMT Contact Numbers:
- AmeriHealth Caritas: 833-498-2262

Consider signing on to support Bi-partisan Legislation- Treatment Family Care Services Act
Treva Johnson, FFTA’s National Public Policy Director, wanted us to pass along this exciting news and opportunity for us to show support and advocacy of the Treatment Family Care Services Act! Please consider signing on your Agency to show support to this very important Bi-partisan legislation to push through standardized benefits and definition of Treatment Foster Care.
The Problem addressed by this Legislation: Despite the clear benefits of TFC, current law does not provide for a standard definition of TFC benefits under Medicaid. While all states provide TFC or an equivalent, there is no clearly defined core set of TFC services accessible for qualified youth.
The Treatment Family Care Services Act addresses this problem by providing a definition of TFC and requiring the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to issue guidance to states identifying opportunities to fund TFC for children enrolled in any Medicaid eligibility group. This clarification will promote accountability for states offering TFC, delineate appropriate TFC services for reimbursement, and drive personnel training and standards.
The bill also requires CMS and ACF to issue guidance to states on best practices for establishing programs to provide treatment family care services.

Effective In-Home Services Can Keep Families Together
When children become involved in the child welfare system, preventative in-home services can be a valuable alternative to separating them from their family. These services are designed to strengthen, support, and stabilize families who have become involved with child protective services, but whose children do not need to be placed in out-of-home care.
Read about promising practices used by states and jurisdictions that are working to strengthen families, promote safety, and keep families together.
Find information on what in-home services are as well as practical considerations for their implementation, such as types of funding, and access an extensive list of successful evidence-based programs.
To learn more about the role of in-home services in supporting families, visit this updated collection of resources.

Federal judge upholds big verdict against Cherokee County over child removal
With judge tacking on attorney fees and more cases over DSS illegal actions looming, county may get state Local Government Commission attention if it struggles to pay up.
Cherokee County will not get a new trial to overturn or reduce the $4.6 million jury verdict issued last year for unlawfully separating a girl from her father, according to a Wednesday ruling by Martin Reidinger, chief judge of the federal Western District of North Carolina.
In a separate order filed Monday, Reidinger approved an additional $1.8 million for attorney fees — an amount paid on top of the jury award. It’s an amount Cherokee County will have to pay, and not its insurer, according to their contract.
The result could cost Cherokee County millions of dollars that it doesn’t have. The county has among the lowest property tax rates of any county in the entire state. The county manager deferred to the county attorney when asked whether the county has the money to pay the plaintiff’s legal fees, and the attorney said he would not comment on pending litigation.
It’s not just the county’s share that’s the concern, either. Cherokee County is also being sued by its own insurer. One county commissioner estimated the payouts to dozens of children and families could reach $50 million.
By comparison, Cherokee County’s 2020-21 budget allocated $5.9 million for its Department of Social Services.
How Cherokee County found itself owing millions
After a four-day trial last May, the jury decided Cherokee County, former DSS Director Cindy Palmer and former DSS attorney Scott Lindsay violated Brian Hogan‘s and his daughter’s constitutional rights. The jury awarded Hogan $1.6 million and his daughter, now a teenager, $3.1 million.
Lawyers representing the county, Palmer and Lindsay asked Judge Reidinger to reconsider the jury award last summer, calling it excessive compared with other verdicts.
However, Reidinger disagreed with the cases they chose to justify such a reduction — one involving employment discrimination and another on consumer credit reporting violations.
“The emotional distress suffered as a result of a damaged credit report or the loss of a job is in no way comparable to the devastation caused by the loss suffered when a parent and child are wrongfully separated for over a year,” the judge’s order reads.
When reached Monday, David Wijewickrama, one of Hogan’s lawyers, said, “Today is a good day for Brian Hogan. Today is a step closer to putting this nightmare to bed and starting a new chapter in his life.”
“This couldn’t have come at a more interesting time as we are lining up to prepare for the game plan involving the rest of the cases,” the lawyer said.
Hogan’s case, heard last May, was the first civil case against Cherokee County over years of illegal child removals to be heard in federal court. Nearly two dozen more cases remain on the court docket.
Two similar cases have already been settled, one for $450,000 and another for $4 million. Cherokee County is insured by the N.C. Counties Liability Property Joint Risk Management Agency, which paid half of the $4 million award. The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously in December to pay $2 million from....

Public Health Emergency is Ending: What It Means for Medicaid/CHIP
Georgetown Report Shows Millions of Children Could Lose Coverage
Access to healthcare services plays a pivotal role in the lives of children, with over 40 million being insured through Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). During the on-going COVID-19 Pandemic, individuals have had continuous coverage through Medicaid and CHIP without redeterminations due to a public health emergency.
During the public health emergency, states were not conducting redeterminations on eligibility for Medicaid and CHIP. When the public health emergency ends, states will need to restart conducting eligibility determinations and this process could lead to many losing coverage due to the administrative burden and this could especially hit children hard who are covered by CHIP.
