The new HealthyBlue Together is essentially the same HealthlyBlue that we have billed, but it is a new subpart replacing the former child welfare funding.

Healthy Blue (Standard): Your general NC Medicaid plan through Blue Cross NC, covering physical, pharmacy, and basic behavioral health.

Healthy Blue Care Together: This is the specific name for the new Children & Families Specialty Plan (CFSP) for current/former foster youth and young adults, offering extra services like long-term supports (LTSS) and I/DD services.

We would also like to remind our providers the importance of privacy when discussing these insurance policies in front of other patients. While it's an amazing initiative, it certainly reveals someone's life status.

NC Medicaid Children and Families Specialty Plan (CFSP) is a statewide plan for children in foster care. Also know as North Carolina's Specialized Foster Care Plan or FC Plan. This page includes fact sheets and policy papers on the NC Medicaid Children and Families Specialty Plan.

DoD published its response to a public call for 2027 State Policy Priorities impacting service members and their families at the link below.

Some responses already exist, while others may be considered for future inclusion. Here are some of the topics that can affect the special needs community.
✅Military Dependent Adult Guardianship - Families with disabled adult children faces challenges with guardianship portability during PCS due to differing state rules and processes.
✅Lack of Medicaid Waiver Portability - Military-connected children with disabilities may experience gaps in service, that are not provided by the military, when moving across state lines.
✅Special Education IEP Transfers - Children with disabilities face inconsistent special education service delivery due to inconsistent laws and implementation across states.
These three topics highlight a theme that needs to be addressed at the state level - inconsistent access to services during mandated moves.
Military families move according to the needs of the armed forces branches, with specific family needs often being overlooked or overridden.
These families often have to make a hard choice - move together and potentially lose services, or leave parts of the family in place to ensure continuity of care.
Please continue to voice your concerns for your special needs community wherever you can - at the district, county, state, and federal levels.
Every voice raised and action taken helps us all!
