As of April 8, Carteret will be considered in-network for BCBSNC enrollees.

In late December, the organizations announced Carteret would become an out-of-network provider for BCBSNC members effective Feb. 1 due to a stalemate in resolving a conflict related to reimbursement rates.

Carteret Health Care services provided for BCBSNC members between Feb. 1 and April 7 will still be considered out-of-network.
