For those interested in learning more about Medicaid and its associated services, the Cabarrus County Department of Social Services is holding a resource event to help explain the benefits.

The Medicaid Health Plans Resources event aims to teach community members about Medicaid benefits, value-added services, Medicaid expansion, tailored plans and more.

The event is set for Friday, December 13 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Cabarrus County DSS (1303 S. E. Cannon Blvd. Kannapolis).

Sponsors include Carolina Complete Health, Partners Health Management, Healthy Blue, Cabarrus Partnership for Children, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan, AmeriHealth Caritas NC and NC Medicaid Enrollment Broker.

In 2023, North Carolina expanded its Medicaid program across the state. The expansion covered residents ages 19 through 64 earning up to 138% of the federal poverty line (singles earning $20,000 a year; families of three earning about $34,000 a year), so residents may be able to get coverage even if they didn’t qualify before.

Medicaid benefits pay for most health services, including doctor visits, yearly checkups, emergency care, maternity and postpartum care, vision and hearing services, dental, behavioral health care and more at little or no cost to eligible residents.

Applications are available online at epass.nc.gov. Residents can also pick up a paper application at the following DSS locations:

  • The main location at 1303 South Cannon Blvd., Kannapolis
  • The Milestone Building at 4855 Milestone Ave., Kannapolis
  • The Dream Center at 280 Concord Parkway South, Suite 110, Concord.
