BlueCross BlueShield asked to reimburse $2M to state taxpayers

(The Center Square) – North Carolina Treasurer Dale Folwell wants insurance company BlueCross BlueShield of North Carolina to reimburse the state for $2 million in legal fees spent defending a lawsuit filed by the company.

BlueCross sued the state after the board of the North Carolina State Health Plan in December 2022 chose another company, Aetna, to administer the state employee health plan, Folwell said.
