Health Contract
The State of North
Carolina officially renewed
its health benefits coverage
Friday with the signing of
an SBO-million contract with
Blue Cross and Blue Shield
of North Carolina.
State Treasurer Harlan E.
Boyles and Plan President
Thomas A. Rose signed the
document at a ceremony at
the Treasurer’s office in
Raleigh.
The contract, the largest
ever underwritten by the
plan, provides health
benefits for approximately
420,000 North Carolinians,
including active and retired
school teachers and state
employees, their depen
dents. and current and
former state legislators and
their surviving spouses.
The Board of Trustees of
the Teachers and State
Employees’ Retirement
System approved the
continuation of the group
contract which becomes
effective July 1.
Blue Cross and Blue
Shield of North Carolina
began administering and
underwriting the state
employee program on July
1,1972. Since then, the plan
has paid over $275-million in
health care benefits for
state employees.
The comprehensive
benfits covered by the
contract include semi
private room and board and
other hospital charges for
365 days for each con
finement, 100 per cent of
usual, customary and
reasonable charges for
professional fees, and major
medical benefits with a
maximum of $250,000 per
lifetime for each person
covered.
The state pays the in
dividual rate for teachers
and state employees. Those
who have families may
include them in the program
by paying the difference in
cost between the individual
and family coverage.
Legislators pay the full cost
of their coverage.
Blue Cross and Blue
Shield of North Carolina, the
state’s oldest and largest
health care prepayment
plan, covers more than 2.5-
million North Carolinians
through its underwritten
and administered govern
ment programs.
