Workers compensation and auto exposure combine with some of the tightest medical-necessity scrutiny in outpatient medicine. In North Carolina that plays out against a specific set of rules rather than a general one.
Claims for North Carolina providers are adjudicated by Palmetto GBA (JM), which is also who hears the first level of appeal — so an appeal argument that works here works in every state that contractor covers.

What changes in North Carolina
Medicaid in North Carolina runs as NC Medicaid Managed Care and is delivered largely through commercial managed care plans, so most Medicaid claims are adjudicated by an insurer with its own filing window and its own authorization rules rather than by the state.
Where pain management claims fail
- Frequency limits exceeded on repeat injections
- Imaging guidance not documented
- Prior authorization obtained for the wrong level
