Greetings!

 

IMPORTANT:  SPECIAL NOTICE

 

On May 20, 2013, BlueCross BlueShield of North Carolina mailed you, as a small group employer, a special "Early Renewal Program" offer.    The Early Renewal Program will allow you to renew your current coverage effective December 1, 2013.  Early renewal may lead to significant savings while giving you another year to assess how you'll be affected by new regulations.  Applying for early renewal will grant your group additional time to fully access the new regulations of the Affordable Care Act.
