In one month, Medicaid coverage will expand to tens of thousands of people in North Carolina. The income requirements for people to get health coverage on Medicaid have gone up, meaning people who made too much before, might qualify now. The message from the county Medicaid teams is to apply today. You do not have to wait until Dec. 1, that is the date your benefits will kick in. However, Medicaid directors in the Triad are asking you to apply soon because there will be a big increase in applications next month and it could take longer to get approved.
