In the middle of February, DHHS Secretary Dr. Aldona Wos granted approval for MeckLINK Behavioral Healthcare to begin operations as a managed care organization under the 1915 (b) (c) Waiver on March 1, 2013. “The independent MERCER readiness reviews provided us with a detailed look at the progress that has been made in Mecklenburg County. We are pleased to continue moving toward full implementation of the managed care model for behavioral health services by July 2013, as mandated in state law,” said Dr. Wos.

Many consumers and family members have expressed their concern about the transition and how it may impact their services. MeckLINK, DHHS and our Provider Network are committed to working to ensure that consumers receive services without interruption throughout the transition.
