Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (Blue Cross NC) is introducing additional provider self-services enhancements within Care Affiliate on February 26, 2025.

Phase 2 (Cite AutoAuth): Go-Live February 26, 2025

  • Provides an automated, evidence-based system to facilitate the prior authorization process.
  • Allows providers to receive faster determinations.

To better help providers navigate the changes, we are offering a series of upcoming webinars. Please review the information below for details and registration information. Each session will last approximately one hour.
