Blues Plans Compete in North Carolina for Lucrative Medicaid Contracts

Anthem, Inc. unit Amerigroup Corp. and a joint effort by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina and AmeriHealth Caritas — will compete for chunks of North Carolina’s Medicaid business as the Tar Heel state moves from fee-for-service to managed care.

The RFP stems from a 2015 law directing the department to move 1.5 million of the state’s Medicaid recipients to private insurers beginning in November 2019.
