[Verified Answer]: The North Carolina Healthy Opportunities…

The North Carolina Healthy Opportunities Pilots program includes non-medical interventions in Medicaid services to improve health. With Medicaid expansion, it will provide essential social support to more residents. Families with children and individuals insured through Medicaid residing in one of the three pilot areas will have access to a range of services, including healthy food, transportation, safe and healthy living environment support, and assistance for victims of domestic violence or toxic stress. These services have the potential to significantly improve health and well-being and will now be more accessible to residents of North Carolina. “These services were selected based on their potential to improve health outcomes and/or lower health care costs and address the housing, food, transportation, interpersonal violence and toxic stress needs of qualifying Medicaid members.”
