The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) recently approved North Carolina Medicaid to continue certain Appendix K flexibilities in the 1915 (c) Innovations Waiver and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Waiver amendment, effective March 1, 2024.
CMS allows states to use Appendix K during emergency situations. During the public health emergency, it was used to support waiver members to remain safe in their communities during the public health emergency.
Some of the Appendix K flexibilities will end Feb. 29, 2024. NC Medicaid will work with the LME-MCOs to support members in transitioning from the Appendix K flexibilities that will be discontinued in the Innovations and TBI Waiver amendments by March 1, 2024.
