The State Health Plan of North Carolina administers these plans and they are underwritten by Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina which offers coverage for in-network and/or out-of-network providers. The University contributes toward the monthly cost of coverage for regular full-time employees.

Affordable Care Act (ACA) preventive services and medications are covered at 100% if performed by an in-network provider.
