The world continues to evolve at a rapid pace, accelerated most recently by the still unfolding impact of COVID-19. This has led to an abundance of new opportunities and challenges within the healthcare sector, and now, more than ever before, employers are prioritizing an employee value proposition that includes affordable, equitable, and inclusive healthcare benefits. The time is now for health plans to go above and beyond for every member they have the privilege to serve and support.

Since its beginnings in 1929, Blue has a well-earned reputation for being at the forefront of improving the lives of Americans through teamwork throughout the Blue organization and with its partners in the market.
As demonstrated through its work in strengthening communities and improving access to care, Blue continues to shape the healthcare industry through collaborative and pioneering leadership.

Blue is the leading choice for employers who prioritize comprehensive, meaningful and effective support and coverage for their people. Blue is “Driving Healthcare Tomorrow, Together”.

The Blue Cross Blue Shield Committee maintains an active liaison with Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina in an effort to represent NCMGMA's interests and issues, and to communicate and influence where appropriate Blue Cross Blue Shield operational policies and directions.  This committee serves a valuable advisory service to Blue Cross on issues of interest and communicates this formally to the NCMGMA membership.

This year’s Blue Cross Blue Shield National Summit will bring together health plan and payer leaders from across the health insurance industry to discuss ways to help your business prepare and prosper from the unfolding changes disrupting healthcare.

CirrusMD will be exhibiting at the virtual annual conference. We invite you to stop by our booth and learn how we're helping health insurance companies provide telemedicine offerings that members — across commercial health plans, Medicare Advantage, Medicare and Medicaid — utilize at much higher rates than other virtual health solutions. 

We’re particularly excited to be the newest member of the extended BCBS family, having recently announced Series C funding led by Blue Venture Fund, which has raised over $800 million from thirty-five Blue Cross and Blue Shield entities. The fund is sponsored by the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association (BCBSA), an association of independent Blue Cross and Blue Shield companies.

With $20M in Series C funding, the team at CirrusMD is excited to build on the success of 2020, a year in which we doubled in nearly every healthcare or business metric, including enlarging our healthcare provider network, encounter volume, revenue and members. 

Today, we’re entering our next phase, growing our clinical network, improving the user experience, and partnering with health insurance networks like BCBS to improve member well-being and reduce costs. 

Stop by our virtual booth. We’d love to hear about your healthcare industry challenges, health and wellness goals for your members, and show you how CirrusMD is driving member utilization rates as much as 10x higher than the industry average.
