Ep. 56 - Big changes coming to North Carolina

The FLATLINING Podcast from Fulcrum Strategies

This week on the FLATLINING Podcast, Matthew and Ron discuss a few news items in North Carolina. First, the state budget has been held up by members of the state Senate effectively putting Medicaid expansion on hold. When can we see any changes and how many more Medicaid patients should providers expect to see? Then, BlueCross BlueShield of North Carolina got approval from the state legislature and the governor to act more like a for-profit insurance company. What does this mean for patients and providers? How will this change the healthcare landscape in North Carolina. Matthew and Ron break it down on the FLATLINING Podcast.
