Blue Cross NC Files 22.9 Percent Rate Increase for ACA Coverage in 2018

“We’re seeing the market begin to stabilize after three years of coverage,” said Brian Tajlili, director of actuarial and pricing services for Blue Cross NC. “Unfortunately, the lack of CSR funding significantly increases the rates for all ACA customers. We are still required to offer the additional CSR benefits to participate in the Exchange, so covering these costs without CSR funding will drive up our average rate for next year.”

“The inability to swim is something that can get passed on through generations,” said Blue Cross NC Vice President of Corporate Affairs and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina Foundation President Kathy Higgins. “Children who don’t know how to swim often become parents who don’t know how to swim, and their children can eventually end up the same way. It’s vitally important that we break that cycle by teaching a new generation of kids how to be safe in the water.”
