United Healthcare Compass Network North Carolina
Over the last few days since 2015 health insurance rates were made available for North Carolina, we have been excited to see how the new kid on the block, United Healthcare, stacks up to other insurers offering coverage on the North Carolina marketplace.
For 2015, the United Healthcare Compass network will be used for North Carolina residents purchasing coverage on the health insurance marketplace. The Compass network is new for 2015, so we have been very curious to see how it stacks up against other networks in North Carolina, including Bluecross Blueshield of NC and Coventry Healthcare of the Carolinas (an Aetna company).
