PCMH, CINs, ACOs, PI, PQRS, MACRA... Is the Bowl of Alphabet Soup Getting Harder to Digest?


We can help. 


Practices need to position themselves for new payment models, incentive programs, and other health care reforms while focusing on patient-centered care. Our practice support coaches are trained to work with you to transform the way in which care is delivered in your practice. To date, our team of coaches have helped more than 6,000 providers at 1,400 practices move toward promoting interoperability (formerly meaningful use) of their electronic health records; nearly 600 practices with Medicaid Transformation education and issue resolution; over 500 practices improve office systems for better care; and more than 300 practices achieve patient-centered medical home recognition. 


Why wait? 




Our on-site coaches are here to help your practice navigate through a time of great transition in health care.


Provider Transition to Medicaid Managed Care

We are providing on-site comprehensive Medicaid Managed Care education and assistance to healthcare providers across the state. More information and resources are also available on the NC Medicaid website for providers.

Let us help you navigate this platform and new features as they roll out. With NC HealthConnex, you can access your patients’ comprehensive records across multiple providers and review labs, diagnostics, history, allergies, medications, and more. You can eliminate duplicative testing, make more efficient and accurate diagnoses, and improve coordination across all levels of care.

CMS Quality Payment Program (QPP) and Merit-based Incentive Program (MIPS) 


NC AHEC and Alliant Quality are working together to help small practices in North Carolina understand and successfully participate in the CMS Quality Payment Program (QPP) and the Merit-based Incentive Program (MIPS). This support for QPP and MIPS is available at no cost to you. You may reach us for local, in-state support at QPPSupport@ncahec.net


Promoting Interoperability Program (EHR Incentive Program or Meaningful Use) 


Our NC AHEC practice coaches can help you select, implement and optimize a certified Electronic Health Record (EHR). We provide education and guidance on program year eligibility, requirements, and possible incentive payments. Let us help you learn how to best use your EHR as a tool to improve care, patient satisfaction and care delivery.
