While this is the first time BCBS of North Carolina will issue the rebates, about 6 million U.S. customers have received similar reimbursements since 2012, averaging $119 per person, according to CMS data cited by The Coastland Times.
BCBS of North Carolina posted profits of $685 million in 2018 on $9.1 billion in premiums. Member rebates will average less than $75 per person, according to the report.
