North Carolina S873 establishes a tiered Innovations Waiver Program to address the needs of individuals on the NC Innovations waiver waitlist.
North Carolina S873 directs the Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Health Benefits (DHB), to develop a plan for a tiered Innovations Waiver Program. This program will consist of three tiers, each with different benefit caps: $25,000, $75,000, and a full waiver benefit. The DHB must consult with Local Management Entities/Managed Care Organizations (LME/MCOs) and other stakeholders in creating this plan. The act also appropriates $100,000 from the General Fund for the 2025-2026 fiscal year to implement the program.
