Can my child be enrolled in both Medicaid and North Carolina Health Choice?

North Carolina Health Choice is designed to provide health insurance coverage for children who do not qualify for Medicaid but meet certain income and eligibility criteria. Generally, a child cannot be enrolled in both Medicaid and North Carolina Health Choice at the same time. Medicaid is available for children from families with lower income, while North Carolina Health Choice serves those higher in income who may not qualify for Medicaid. If a child is found eligible for Medicaid, they will typically receive coverage through that program. In cases where a family's income exceeds the limits for Medicaid, the child may be eligible for North Carolina Health Choice instead. It is important to keep in mind that eligibility for either program is determined based on varying factors, and families may apply for both programs separately to determine which one fits their child’s needs best.
