TL;DR

North Carolina’s State Health Plan board voted to restore Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina as the plan’s manager (and for a separate pharmaceutical benefits contract) starting in 2028, reversing the 2023 move to Aetna. The switch could influence premiums, covered services, and who’s in-network, and may spark legal disputes as political priorities shift under Treasurer Brad Briner.
