Smoky is a local government agency referred to as a local management entity/managed care organization (LME/MCO), which means it manages services for people enrolled in Medicaid and those who do not qualify for Medicaid or have other insurance. Although Smoky does not provide services directly, it ensures people who need treatment receive quality care in a timely manner. These services are delivered by a network of private providers who contract with Smoky.

 

By maintaining a network of more than 650 highly qualified providers, responding to individual and family needs on a local level and effectively managing public service dollars, Smoky is showing every day how public managed care benefits both people who receive services and the taxpayers of North Carolina. Smoky operates a 24-hour call center available to anyone with concerns or questions about mental health, intellectual/developmental disability or substance use. Smoky educates the community about these issues and how to seek help through a robust public outreach program.
