North Carolina Innovations Clinical Coverage Policy 8-P

Before you start

  • Assessments, desired outcomes, daily support needs, health and safety risks, current supports, requested services, provider options, schedules, backup plan, and notices.

Who to contact

Use the official destination above, the county-assigned LME/MCO, the contact on the controlling notice, or the program-specific help route cited here.

Step by step

  1. Prepare outcomes and concrete support needs before the planning meeting.
  2. Review the draft for services, amount, frequency, provider, safeguards, backup arrangements, and responsibilities.
  3. Keep the final signed plan and all authorization decisions.

Expected next

A completed ISP submitted for review, an authorization decision, or a documented revision request.

Save this proof

Drafts, meeting notes, signed ISP, authorizations, denials, revisions, and implementation contacts.

If this stalls or the answer is no

Ask the care manager to identify the missing plan element and use the notice-specific appeal route for an adverse benefit decision.

A signed ISP does not by itself prove authorization, provider acceptance, staffing, or service start.

Beyond Childhood’s checklists and prompts are planning aids derived from official sources. They are not official forms, legal advice, eligibility decisions, or guarantees of funding, capacity, quality, or service.
