CHRLOTTE, N.C. — Two additional North Carolina health care providers are joining five other state health systems and an insurer in a deal designed to help lower medical costs.
Blue Cross and Blue Shield will soon be working with seven of North Carolina’s largest health systems in a finance-sharing program called Blue Premier.
Novant and Atrium health systems will join the deal January 1st. Health officials say the program helps systems compare prices and boost value. Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, Cone Health, Duke University Health, UNC Hospitals and WakeMed are the other health care providers that will make up the network.
