2 Some services and supplies received by members in an office setting or in connection with an office visit are in fact outpatient hospital-based services provided
by hospital-owned or operated practices. These services and supplies may be subject to your deductible and coinsurance. Please see the BCBSNC provider listing
to identify these providers.
3 Prescription drug benefits are divided into four drug-formulary tiers with varying copayment/coinsurance amounts based on the tier placement of a drug. Specific
drug information can be found on the Prescription Drug Search tool at bcbsnc.com. Diabetic supplies are covered at 75% under the prescription drug benefit. In
addition, benefits are provided for over-the-counter drugs when listed as covered in the formulary and a provider’s prescription for that drug is presented at the
pharmacy. Specialty brand drugs require member coinsurance.

With Blue Advantage, members have access to many of the best doctors, hospitals and specialists in North Carolina.
Our provider networks are large and member copayments and coinsurance are predictable. (5) Members visit in-network
providers, show their Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (BCBSNC) ID card and pay their copayment. The doctor
handles the administrative details and files the claims. There’s no messy paperwork. It’s that easy.
Blue Advantage members can also go directly to in-network specialists without a referral and have the freedom to go
outside the network for most services. (6) The only difference is the out-of-pocket cost.
Blue Advantage for individual coverage offers two plans, which allows applicants to choose the benefits and deductible that
work best for them. Blue Advantage Plan A features a $15 copayment for doctor visits and just $10 for generic
prescription drugs. For those on a budget, Blue Advantage Plan B offers lower monthly premiums. Members share more in
the cost of their health care on Plan B through higher copayments. (7)
With Blue Advantage, members are covered across the nation and in more than 200 countries and territories
worldwide. (8) To find a nearby network provider, members can search the BlueCard® provider directory at bcbsnc.com or
call 1-800-810-BLUE (2583).
Applicants may choose to purchase coverage for their children only. Children will receive full Blue Advantage benefits,
including coverage for well-child and well-baby care and immunizations. Applicants can also select maternity coverage for
an extra charge when they first purchase a policy, renew a policy (if the policy has been in effect for at least six months), or if
they have a family status change like marriage.
As BCBSNC members, Blue Advantage members have access to a variety of resources and programs designed to
maximize their health care experience. Resources include the Member Health Partnerships, programs that help members
manage health conditions like asthma and diabetes, and the Blue Extras free value-added programs, which provide
members discounts on everything from vitamins to gym memberships. (9)
To be eligible for Blue Advantage, an applicant must be a resident of North Carolina, be under age 65 and not qualify for
Medicare. Enrollment processing takes approximately 30 days. Applicants may need health insurance to cover this waiting
period, or to cover the time between the termination date of their old plan and the effective date of their new plan.
