Blue Local with Atrium Health (formerly Carolinas HealthCare System) is a good option if you wish to get care from Atrium Health (and its affiliated doctors and hospitals). Since the majority of the doctors in this plan are in the same health care system, it’s easier for them to work together on your behalf. Just make sure any doctors and hospitals you currently use, or wish to see, are in the Blue Local with Atrium Health network.
Blue Local with Atrium Health is available to residents of these metro-Charlotte area counties: Anson, Cabarrus, Cleveland, Gaston, Lincoln, Mecklenburg, Rowan, Stanly, and Union
UNC Health Alliance is our Blue Value partner in the Triangle area. Blue Value is a good fit if you want lower monthly premiums and are flexible about which doctors you see – or if your doctor or hospital is part of this smaller network.
