Transforming rural healthcare means treating the whole person—mind and body together. Through @ncdhhs' Rural Health Transformation Program, North Carolina is expanding behavioral health services across rural communities by growing mental health clinics, deploying mobile crisis teams, launching school-based initiatives, and integrating behavioral health directly into primary care. @ncahec is proud to help in this charge by continuing to advance the Collaborative Care Model (CoCM) in counties across NC. By equipping primary care teams with dedicated behavioral health care managers and psychiatric consultation support, CoCM helps practices deliver whole-person care right in the clinics patients already know and trust. NC AHEC is also connecting primary care providers with on-demand psychiatric consultation, behavioral health referral support, resource toolkits, and training opportunities through the NC Psychiatry Access Line (NC-PAL) found at ncpal.org. Together, we are breaking down silos, reducing stigma, and making comprehensive behavioral health care accessible to every North Carolinian.

🏥 Collaboration, persistence, and problem-solving led to a big win for providers in #IredellCounty. Working together, Credentialing Specialist Melody Josey and Northwest Area Health Education Center's Lara Dickerson uncovered 258 missing provider-to-PHP affiliations that were contributing to Medicaid claim denials. Their efforts helped practices correct enrollment issues, recover denied claims, and strengthen support for providers and patients. The findings may even help inform solutions to challenges affecting other practices across North Carolina. See all the ways @ncahec may be able to help your practice at ncahec.net/practice-support/….
