North Carolina Group Health Insurance High Risk Pool

Individuals in North Carolina Without Health Insurance?

In North Carolina, medical underwriting is allowed without restriction. A preexisting condition is a medical condition for which medical advice or treatment was recommended or given prior to coverage under this plan. There is a 12 month look back and exclusionary period for preexisting conditions for those without prior health coverage.

Although there is no high risk pool in North Carolina, those exercising their HIPAA group to individual rights may obtain health coverage from any individual carrier in the state. For those that are not able to utilize HIPAA, Blue Cross Clue Shield of North Carolina will guarantee coverage regardless of your health status.
