What is the Medicaid Waiver?
North Carolina has a health plan for serious behavioral and intellectual/developmental disability health care for persons receiving Medicaid. This plan is made possible through a Medicaid Waiver which allows Trillium to be a Managed Care Organization (MCO), which means we act as the local authority for the Medicaid Program.
The 1915(b)(c) Medicaid Waiver allows some Medicaid requirements to be waived in order to provide alternatives to the traditional service delivery system. If you receive Medicaid from any of the counties within Trillium area, you are a member of the North Carolina Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities and Substance Use Services Plan (NC MH/DD/SAS).
Available services include basic North Carolina Medicaid services, plus some additional services identified through review of evidence-based practices and service gaps. The NC MH/DD/SAS Health Plan puts importance on treatment in the most inclusive setting, attention to the whole person, and concentration on an individual's strengths.
