North Carolina’s Upcoming Event to Shed Light on Medicaid Enrollment
The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) is organizing an informative session to guide residents through the nuances of health care coverage, including NC Medicaid, as the open enrollment period approaches. This live fireside chat and tele-town hall will take place on Tuesday, Oct. 29, from 6 to 7 p.m.
Prominent speakers for the event are:
- LaQuana Palmer, MPA, Deputy Director, NC Medicaid Communications and Engagement, Division of Health Benefits, NCDHHS

Starting Nov. 1, open enrollment will begin for NC Medicaid and other health care plans. This annual period is critical for individuals and families to apply for or renew their health coverage.
During the session, panelists will explore several vital topics:

The event will be broadcast live on NCDHHS’s Facebook and YouTube channels, where viewers can engage by submitting questions.
