Carolina HealthWorks: Affordable Health Insurance for Small Businesses

North Carolinas Carolina HealthWorks initiative, launched by the North Carolina Chamber and Blue Cross NC, offers small businesses affordable health insurance. Through a multiple-employer welfare arrangement, businesses can pool resources, gaining access to plans typically reserved for larger groups. Eligible businesses, with 2-50 employees, can start coverage on January 1, 2026, by joining their local chamber and covering at least 50% of the employee-only premium. Participating employers gain full access to Blue Cross NCs extensive network, with over 20 plan options, including dental and vision coverage. The North Carolina Insurance Commissioners quick approval highlights the urgency to provide this new option for small businesses. DNN | The Daily News Now!
