Licensed Clinical Care Case Advisor, SUD/Recovery (CFSP)

#HealthyBlueCareTogetherCFSP

We are partnering with North Carolina DHHS to operationalize a statewide Medicaid Plan designed to support Medicaid-enrolled infants, children, youth, young adults, and families served by the child welfare system so that they receive seamless, integrated, and coordinated health care. Within the Children and Families Specialty Plan (CFSP), and regardless of where a member lives, they will have access to the same basic benefits and services, including Physical health, Behavioral health, Pharmacy, Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities (I/DD) services, long term services and supports, Unmet health-related resource needs, and Integrated care management. We envision a North Carolina where all children and families thrive in safe, stable, and nurturing homes.

North Carolina residency is required!
