Action Needed to Resolve Potential State Health Plan Filter Issue

As you know, the payer for the State Health Plan changed from Blue Cross Blue Shield NC to Aetna on January 1, 2025. If you accept the State Health Plan and submit data to NC HealthConnex, it is important to update any filters you have in place to remain in compliance with the state mandate. We ask that you please update your filter to include all patients you see who are on the State Health Plan that are Aetna members. This will mean working with your EHR vendor to update this setting.
