Employees covered by the SHP in 2024 are slowly receiving COBRA notifications in the mail. For compliance, these COBRA notifications are required to be distributed by the previous SHP Third Party Administrator (TPA), BlueCross/BlueShield of NC (BSBC), to signify the end of the 2024 coverage BCBS managed. Please assure your employees that no action is required of them and the BCBS notifications do not impact their SHP coverage through the new TPA, Aetna.
Will Blue Cross NC be sending members anything else?
Members will receive a letter from Blue Cross NC in January 2025, which is a required Notice of Creditable Coverage. Blue Cross NC is required to send these letters as members will no longer be on a Blue Cross NC plan, no action is necessary.
