2025-2026 NATIONAL CORE INDICATORS-I/DD SURVEY

Trillium is partnering with NCDHHS to support the annual National Core Indicators (NCI) survey, which evaluates the outcomes of individuals receiving Intellectual and Developmental Disability (I/DD) services. This survey examines critical areas such as employment, community involvement, relationships, health and wellness, safety, and access to services. Standardized questions allow for comparisons between states and provide valuable insights into service quality.

How the provider will be involved

Beginning in December 2025, providers serving members with I/DD aged 18 and older may be contacted to assist in the following ways:

• Obtaining member consent for survey participation.
• Providing background information for consenting members.

Survey administration will be handled by the Carolina Institute for Developmental Disabilities (CIDD), a third-party organization contracted by the State.

Eligibility Requirements for Survey Participation

Members must meet the following criteria to participate in the survey:

• Be diagnosed with an intellectual or developmental disability.
• Receive Medicaid-funded services from an I/DD provider agency.
• Be at least 18 years old.

Next Steps for Providers

If your agency provides services to eligible members, please email Surveys@TrilliumNC.org with contact information for the point of contact for the NCI-IDD survey within your agency as soon as possible. Trillium will send additional details, including the list of members selected to participate, via email. For questions or more information, contact Surveys@TrilliumNC.org or call 1-866-998-2597 and ask for Irmak Sherrod.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PARTNERSHIP

MESSAGE FROM NC TRACKS: CONNECTING COMMUNITIES AND MEDICAID (CCM) MEETINGS RESUME

We’re pleased to announce the resumption of Connecting Communities and Medicaid (CCM) meetings, an initiative from NC Medicaid. CCM is designed to strengthen collaboration between community organizations and Medicaid services across North Carolina.

What is CMM?

Connecting Communities and Medicaid (CCM) is a strategic effort to build bridges between Medicaid programs and the community-based organizations that support North Carolinians every day. Through regular meetings, shared resources, and open dialogue, CCM aims to exchange information between NC Medicaid and community organizations to reduce barriers to care and ensure that Medicaid services are responsive to the needs of our communities.

Why Join Now?

As we resume our monthly meetings, we will place a special focus on supporting the implementation of H.R.1 requirements and ensuring that community voices are central to this process. By joining CCM, you’ll be part of a collaborative network working to:

• Stay informed about Medicaid updates and federal policy changes
• Share feedback and insights from your community
• Collaborate with other organizations across the state
• Help shape a more inclusive and effective Medicaid system
