Expert Views
Why Is It So Hard to Get Mental Health Care and Support?
Over and over, I have heard the complaint from friends: They have insurance but can’t find a therapist or psychiatrist. Everyone they call is full. With the weight of their depression or anxiety making it difficult to initiate activity, they face the additional barrier of lack of appointment availability.

Addressing Disparities in Behavioral Health.
As a Registered Nurse, I have worked directly with patients. This experience has given me a unique insight into some of the problems facing our health care system. One critical issue the health care industry needs to address is the disparity in accessing behavioral health care among minority groups. Why, in a time when our society is working to close the gaps in income, housing and education, is behavioral health lagging behind?

Using High-Tech and High-Touch to Simplify Health Care.
Perhaps more than any other industry, health care represents the collision of humanity and technology — nothing is more personal than our health care. Blue Cross NC is working to provide a more simplified health care experience for our members. By combining technology and human interaction, we’re helping members find the right resources for their care journeys.
Health Care Is Too Expensive. Here's How We're Making It More Affordable.
As health care costs continue to rise, people are forced to make hard decisions — like rationing medication, delaying care or choosing between medicine and groceries. These are decisions no one should have to make. That’s why the work Blue Cross NC is doing to make care more affordable has never been more important.
