Please Share with Interested Professionals/Organizations Providing Services to Individuals with a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

Alliance Behavioral Healthcare (Alliance) is the Local Management Entity/Managed

Care Organization covering Durham, Wake, Johnston and Cumberland Counties

and has been selected to operate a pilot Waiver for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in these

four counties.  The NC Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has

submitted an application for this TBI waiver to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid

Services (CMS) for review and approval.  General Information and the state TBI waiver

application, including the list of proposed services to be covered under this waiver can

be found here:

Upon approval by CMS, Alliance will be determining and evaluating the provider

network capacity for the services outlined in the waiver needed to meet the needs of

individuals that will be participating in this TBI waiver.

In advance of the waiver approval (therefore, we do not know its final content), Alliance is hosting this listening session in order to hear from service providers who

provide support to individuals with a TBI. Please join our webinar on:

Topics covered at the Listening Session

Outline of the goals of the proposed waiver

List of services as proposed in the waiver application

Resource links and helpful information about contracting with Alliance

Alliance is asking service providers to list questions with the goal of having the answers

once the waiver is approved. This session is to generate provider questions so that we

all can be better prepared to roll out these new services quickly once the waiver is

approved.

Please consider participating!

Questions can also be submitted to TBIinfo@alliancebhc.org

Please submit questions by February 25 at Noon for inclusion in the webinar.
