BCBS NC inks value-based deal with UNC Health, driving down ACA premiums

BCBS NC announced the changes after its Affordable Care Act rates were approved by the state on Wednesday. Average premiums on ACA plans will drop 4.1% thanks, in large part, to the deal with UNC Health, BCBS spokesman Austin Vevurka told FierceHealthcare.  The deal also represents a distinct push toward value-based care.
