Care Share is working to promote Medicaid Expansion in North Carolina to primarily underserved communities, educating enrollment assisters and community partners on new eligibility guidelines, and supporting their efforts to inform their communities about opportunities to enroll.

We will offer educational webinars, trainings and engagement sessions for partners to learn about and discuss their experiences with Medicaid Expansion.

Medicaid Expansion Market Research Report:

Care Share Health Alliance recently contracted with Sparkle Insights to conduct qualitative market research with individuals who are eligible for Medicaid through Expansion but have not yet enrolled. The report below details insights from the research including individual’s concerns about, and perceived barriers to, enrolling in Medicaid and the messaging that is the most motivating for folks to apply.

Medicaid Expansion Market Research Presentation

Care Share was thrilled to host a webinar on July 2nd, 2024 discussing the Medicaid Expansion Market Research findings and how to incorporate various Medicaid Expansion messages into your outreach and enrollment efforts. Check out the slides and recording below to review the content shared by Sparkle Insights, who performed Market Research on behalf of Care Share Health Alliance, and Neimand Collaborative and their research parterns Artemis Strategy Group who conducted research on behalf of NCDHHS.

Medicaid Expansion Webinar Series:

Join us for a monthly webinar where we highlight content experts who share information and best practices about aspects of Medicaid Expansion Outreach, Education, and/or Enrollment Considerations. Simultaneous Spanish interpretation is offered at every webinar. Our next webinar is titled Tailored Plan Implications for Medicaid Expansion Enrollees and will be held on Thursday, September 12th at 2:30pm.

Medicaid Expansion Partner Engagement Sessions:

The Medicaid Expansion Partner Engagement Sessions are an opportunity for community organizations and enrollment assisters to share to share their successes, concerns, and experiences with the Expansion process while connecting with others across the state who are engaged in this work. Each month, we provide updates about policies or resources, troubleshoot common issues, and brainstorm about how to more effectively connect eligible North Carolinians to coverage through Expansion.

There are two partner engagement sessions each month, the first geared toward enrollment assisters (ex: Navigators or Certified Application Counselors) who help individuals apply for Medicaid and/or Marketplace coverage. The second session is geared toward community partners involved in outreach efforts related to Medicaid Expansion. The partner engagement sessions are held of the first Wednesday and Thursday of each month, respectively, and attendees are welcome to join one or both sessions.

Medicaid Expansion Regional Trainings:

In January through March of 2024, Care Share Health Alliance, the NC Community Health Center Association, and the NC Navigator Consortium offered Medicaid Expansion Regional Trainings to provide community partners with Medicaid 101 and Medicaid Expansion content. Below you will find the training materials presented at each of the trainings.

Enrollment Assister Appreciation Week:

Per an official proclamation from Governor Roy Cooper, North Carolina celebrated Enrollment Assister Appreciation Week from April 15th through 19th, 2024. Enrollment Assister Appreciation Week recognizes the life-saving work that our state’s enrollment assisters have done as North Carolina has undergone Medicaid Expansion, Marketplace Open Enrollment, and Medicaid Expansion.
