NC-TOPPS Hierarchy

Priority for the responsible provider agency is in hierarchical order so that if a consumer is receiving two or more of the required services during a given period, the service that is in highest order on the table is responsible for NC-TOPPS. As services change within an episode of care, the NC-TOPPS record will be transferred to the provider agency providing the next highest service. The request for the transfer should be made by the provider agency to the LME-MCO.

Only one set of NC-TOPPS Interviews is completed for a member receiving services during a particular episode of care.
