ComServ, Inc. is a Certified Care Management Agency by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. Tailored Care Management is offered at no cost to individuals who will be served by North Carolina’s Behavioral Health and Intellectual/Developmental Disability (I/DD) Tailored Plans and for some individuals who will continue in Medicaid Direct.
Tailored Care Management (TCM) provides members with a designated care manager that will assist the member and/or their families to coordinate services for their son/daughter/family member. Care Managers will develop a multidisciplinary care team to provide whole-person care for the individual served. Whole person care includes helping to meet the following needs of the individual: physical health, pharmacy, long-term services and supports, unmet health-related resource needs, housing, nutrition, education, medically necessary transportation and many other areas . You now have someone to call to assist you with getting connected to available resources!
The goal of Tailored Care Management is to improve the health of North Carolinians through a coordinated system of care, which addresses both medical and non-medical components of health.

How do I enroll in Tailored Care Management?
The member choice period to elect a Care Management Agency ended October 14, 2022, and anyone who hadn’t selected a Care Management Agency at that time was automatically assigned to one.
You may have chosen or been auto-assigned to a Tailored Care Management provider already, but you can choose another Tailored Care Management provider if you so desire. Before you choose who will be providing your Tailored Care Management services, please be advised of the following information:
You can choose or change your Tailored Care Management provider. If you want to choose or change your Tailored Care Management provider, you can call the Managed Care Organization overseeing your Medicaid services, Partners Health Management at 833-618-7974 for I/DD and TBI Screening and Referral or 704-842-6311 for MH/SUD Screening and Referral. You will not be forced to choose a particular provider.
You can also choose not to have a care manager and not receive the Tailored Care Management benefit. In this case your Managed Care Organization will help you coordinate services, but the coordination will be more limited than Tailored Care Management. This will not impact which providers you can see or what services are covered for you through the Managed Care Organization.
Choosing not to participate in Tailored Care Management is your right. If you choose not to participate, your care will not change.
If you are assigned to another Care Management Agency and want to switch to ComServ’s Care Management Agency, contact your Local Management Entity/Managed Care Organization (LME/MCO). Click here to find their contact information.
