NCTracks is the multi-payer system used for NC Medicaid provider enrollment and related transactions. A practical NCTracks pathway includes securing portal access, completing provider enrollment or change requests, uploading required documents, monitoring status, clearing deficiencies, and confirming enrollment before claim submission assumptions are made. Providers serving managed-care members should also understand contracting and operational requirements of the member's Standard or Tailored Plan. Medicaid Direct and managed-care pathways are not interchangeable at claim routing time.
