The Blue Care (Blue Cross NC) HMO medical insurance plan is available only to employees living in North Carolina. Participants must use a statewide network of providers. Out-of-network care is only covered for emergency or urgent care.
Under Blue Care you may, but are not required to, select a primary care physician (PCP) from a plan's list of network providers. Unlike traditional HMOs, with Blue Care you do not need a referral from your PCP to see a network specialist.
For more information, please see the Blue Care Member Guide.
