How health insurance works in North Carolina
People in North Carolina buy marketplace coverage through HealthCare.gov. Open enrollment runs from November 1 through January 15. North Carolina Medicaid covers adults with income up to 138% of the poverty level. For 2027, marketplace plans in North Carolina come from 5 insurers: Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina, Ambetter (Centene), AmeriHealth Caritas, Oscar Health and UnitedHealthcare. Not every insurer sells in every county. Short-term health plans are sold with state limits on how long they can last (up to 3 months initially). They are not ACA-compliant coverage.
