Every North Carolina Medicaid plan we accept

North Carolina runs Medicaid through two kinds of managed care plans. Behavioral health services like buprenorphine treatment can be covered under either. This practice is in-network with all of them.

  • UnitedHealthcare Community Plan
  • Healthy Blue
  • AmeriHealth Caritas NC
  • Carolina Complete Health (formerly WellCare of North Carolina)
Behavioral Health Tailored Plans (LME/MCOs)
  • Alliance Health
  • Vaya Partners
  • Trillium Health Resources

Commercial and Medicare plans accepted include NC State Health Plan (Aetna), Blue Cross NC, Anthem BCBS, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, UMR, Ambetter, and Medicare. Don't see yours? Send a request and we'll check.

County-by-county Tailored Plan map

Behavioral Health Tailored Plans are run by four LME/MCOs, and which one covers you depends on the county you live in. This is the assignment map effective February 1, 2024. It's useful to know, but you don't have to figure it out yourself — bring us your card and we'll verify.

Note: Standard Plan members are not assigned by county. If your card names UnitedHealthcare, Healthy Blue, AmeriHealth Caritas, or Carolina Complete Health (including older WellCare cards), this map doesn't apply to you. County assignments can also be updated by the state — always confirm against your current card.

Why telehealth works here

North Carolina's treatment gap is not evenly distributed. The metros have clinics with waitlists; large stretches of the coastal plain and the mountains have very few buprenorphine prescribers at all. For a person in withdrawal, a 90-minute drive is not a minor inconvenience — it is the reason treatment doesn't happen.

Video visits remove distance from the equation. They also remove the parking lot problem: in a small county, being seen walking into the local treatment clinic carries a real social cost. There is no building to be seen entering here.

What stays the same is the medicine and the standard of care. You get a licensed physician, an actual assessment, a real treatment plan, and follow-up.
