Community Care of North Carolina (CCNC) has awarded Bringing Value Home Innovation Funding to Union County Public Health. This is a one-time grant in the amount of $23,316.80. The payment represents approximately $16.70 per member calculated using your March 2025 Medicaid Standard Plan Prepaid Health Plan (PHP) attribution of 1,396 as reported to CCNC in the Beneficiary files from each PHP.
