What is North Carolina Health Choice?
North Carolina Health Choice (NCHC) is North Carolina’s health insurance program. It is funded with federal and state monies. This program can end or be frozen when funds are depleted. NCHC is a health insurance program for children under age 19 whose family’s income is so low that they cannot afford health care. The children must not have other health insurance. NCHC is coverage through Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina, but is administered through social services because it is a publicly funded program governed by federal and state laws.
