The Change Healthcare nationwide system outage is continuing to affect our providers, including our Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (Blue Cross NC) dental providers.

Currently, Blue Cross NC dental providers are unable to submit electronic claims to Blue Cross NC through Change Healthcare (CHC) due to the CHC outage.
