CAPC Program for Medically Fragile Children

 

The CAPC Program is a special Medicaid program that targets medically fragile children, regardless of insurance, who meet the eligibility criteria for institutional care. This program was developed as an alternative to institutional care for disabled children with serious medical conditions. The CAPC program in Wake, Johnston & Franklin Counties has a team of RN’s who intensively case manage these children so they are able to be cared for at home rather than an institution. Case Managers work closely with parents and providers to assure the health, safety and well-being of these children are being maintained. This includes 24/7 emergency planning with backup plans available. Each child is re-evaluated on a yearly basis for eligibility.
