NC State Health Plan Transparency Toolkit (Employer/Plan Administrator Edition)

A pre-built, customizable communication and decision-support suite that state benefits offices and health plans deploy 6–9 months before network changes. Includes: a plain-language change summary, interactive provider-lookup tool, cost-impact calculator, FAQ database, and a phased outreach calendar (mail, email, SMS, town halls). Plans plug in their own provider lists and cost data; toolkit handles the rest.

Original Problem

State employees and retirees face unexpected out-of-pocket healthcare costs due to preferred provider network changes

North Carolina state employees and retirees are being hit with surprise surcharges when using WakeMed facilities starting July 2026, forcing them to either pay extra or switch to less convenient providers. Current health plan communications fail to adequately prepare beneficiaries for these sudden cost increases, leaving them scrambling to understand their options and find alternative care networks. This creates financial stress and healthcare access disruption for a population that believed their state health benefits were stable.
