Carolina Kids currently accepts most plans offered by the insurance carriers listed below:
We currently do not accept new Medicaid, NC Healthchoice, Christian Care Ministries, or Tricare.
If you are a patient searching for a practice that accepts new Medicaid, please see this DHHS list.
We currently do not accept any Ambetter, or international policies. If your policy has changed, please check with our office prior to any appointments.
While your carrier may be listed above, due to constant changes in healthcare plans, we cannot guarantee that we are in network with your specific plan or able to submit claims on your behalf.
See our Insurance and Billing 101 for more information.
Many insurance plans apply deductibles/co-insurance to testing or procedures performed during your visit. Separate codes are used for add-on items and are not included with the exam, even if performed at a scheduled well-exam. See our parent handout on Deductibles/Co-Insurance for more information.
The N.C. Department of Insurance offers a great program called Smart NC to assist families with finding, choosing, and obtaining insurance.

In November 2019, N.C. Medicaid and N.C. Health Choice are moving to “Medicaid Managed Care”. This means, instead of the state managing your healthcare plan, a private insurance company will be managing your healthcare plan. You will be required to select a plan from one of four insurance carriers the state has selected. At this time, our office plans to enroll as a provider with United Healthcare and Wellcare.
We are happy to answer questions that you may have pertaining to our office and the Medicaid insurance plans with whom we will participate. If you have any questions, feel free to contact our office at (919) 881- 9009.
