North Carolina’s Healthy Opportunities Pilots: 
A Medicaid Managed Care Program to Address Social Needs

Implementation Lessons and Policy Recommendations from 
Planning, Capacity-building, and Early Implementation

Meeting Objectives:

• Disseminate practical cross-cutting themes from the planning, capacity-building, and early implementation periods of the Healthy Opportunities Pilots, including successes, lessons learned, challenges encountered, and innovative solutions for overcoming challenges.
• Discuss with policymakers, researchers, evaluators, implementation leaders, and frontline providers their experiences over the past two years—and thoughts on the future of the program.
• Help leaders from North Carolina—as well as from other states, payers, and settings considering similar models—to “see around corners” by discussing timely implementation and policy considerations for maximizing Medicaid managed care to address social needs moving forward.
