Arc NC Action Alert

From The Arc of North Carolina

Attend The Coalition Rally! Also, Calls & Emails Needed....

It’s crunch time. Legislators are considering changes to HB 916 this week, and we have an opportunity to suggest improvements to the 1915 b/c waiver. The Arc continues to work with legislators to create reasonable solutions to issues many of you are already experiencing with the implementation of the 1915 b/c waiver. Here’s what we’re working on:

First, restoring access to some form of independent case management for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities is critical for the 1915 b/c waiver model to succeed. Second, individuals with CAP or Innovations slots need assurances that they can continue to use them regardless of where they live. Third, where a person originally received Medicaid should not be an impediment to receiving services today.

As we work on these issues, it is critical that legislators hear from you -- Nothing is more powerful than you telling your story.

Decisions on potential changes to HB 916 are being made this week.

Please call & email:

Download my list with copy+paste contact info by Committee:

Word Contact List

PDF Contact List

Tell them:

Restore Independent Case Management: People with I/DD need an independent case manager who works for them, not for the Managed Care Organization!
Slow the pace of Managed Care – Get it right: There are many problems with the current managed care plan, as many of you can personally attest to. It is important that the pace of implementation be slowed so these problems can be addressed before they become an established part of the system.

The Coalition Rally (Tuesday, May 22)

If you can attend the Rally at the NC Legislative Building (16 W Jones Street) in Raleigh, please do so! Even if if you can only spare an hour …Call your legislator and ask to see them. It will make a difference. Registration Starts at 8:00 AM and the Rally itself is at noon. Details on the rally can be found here, including parking info.

The Arc will have staff avalible from 7:30 AM through the end of the day avalible to assist you in getting around. The Day of the event, please call 919.500.8382 if you have any questions or problems.

DHHS Waiver Advisory Committee Meeting (Tues, May 22, 1-3 PM)

If you can attend the DHHS Waiver Advisory Committee, please do so as well!! It will be meeting from 1:00 - 3:00 PM at the McKimmon Center (1101 Gorman Street) in Raleigh - a quick 10 minunte drive from where The Coalition Rally is taking place.

Earlier today, you should have received a Policy Partners email outlining why North Carolina Should Slow Down Managed Care Implementation. It will take the combined efforts of our members and allies to get the General Assembly and the Administration to listen. That's why we are asking you to:

TAKE ACTION TODAY!

We need you to tell your story to the decision makers in state government about how changing to a Managed Care system has affected you or will affect you, making sure to tell them:

North Carolina needs to Slow Down Managed Care Implementation Until They Get It Right!
Restore Case Management to People With Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities!
Require that Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) prove that they are prepared to manage the new system effectively before they can move forward

Who Should I Contact, Where Should I Go?
