Big Changes Ahead for North Carolina State Health Plan Providers: A Clear Guide to Navigating the Network Transition

As a behavioral health provider delivering care to North Carolina's dedicated teachers and state employees, staying up to date on network changes is crucial. Here's what you need to know about the upcoming transition to Aetna as the State Health Plan's new third-party administrator, effective January 1, 2025.

Aetna to Become New North Carolina State Health Plan

Right now, Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina acts as the third-party administrator for these members.

But to continue seeing these North Carolina State Health Plan members on an in-network basis, behavioral health providers need to be within Aetna's network by 2025.

Current Clear Pricing Project (CPP) providers must re-sign up to remain CPP providers under Aetna.
