Event Details
Covenant invites families, care coordinators, healthcare professionals, and community partners to join an upcoming Lunch & Learn focused on understanding the real differences between the NC Innovations Waiver and the 1915(i) State Plan Amendment.
Presented by Caroline Robertson, this virtual session cuts through the confusion around two of North Carolina’s most important Medicaid programs, with a direct side-by-side comparison and practical guidance on how to use them together.
Attendees will learn:
- What the NC Innovations Waiver and 1915(i) each cover, in plain language
