The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) launched a dashboard to track monthly enrollment in NC Medicaid for people eligible through expansion.
The NC Medicaid Expansion Enrollment Dashboard offers a detailed overview of enrollment trends in newly eligible adults ages 19-64 who can now apply for full health care coverage.
On day one of expansion, nearly 273,000 people were enrolled and covered by Medicaid expansion, most of which were part of the family planning population who were automatically moved to full coverage. The platform provides a look at enrollee characteristics that include age, race, ethnicity and other demographics. Information on the percentage of eligible adults newly enrolled in NC Medicaid by county and type of health plan, as well as specifically within rural areas of the state, is also available.
The dashboard represents a snapshot of enrollments known at the beginning of each month and does not capture enrollments processed after the start of the month. This new dashboard for Medicaid expansion is in addition to the department’s existing NC Medicaid Enrollment dashboard.
