About us

See what Blue is all about.

It all began in 1933 with a hospital care plan that made health insurance available to those who might have thought health care was out of reach.

And now, over 75 years later, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (BCBSNC) continues to deliver quality products, information and services to help our customers improve their health and well-being.
