It covers more than 1 million people in our state, including children, the aged, blind, and/or disabled, and people who are eligible to receive Federally assisted income maintenance payments. North Carolina Medicaid includes Baby Love for prenatal and infant health care, Health Check for children up to age 21, Carolina ACCESS for managed care, and community alternatives to provide home and community care as a cost-effective alternative to institutionalization.
