North Carolina State Health Plan sues Atrium Health over copays
Original: NC’s State Health Plan sues Atrium, saying it can’t set plan members’ copays
North Carolina's State Health Plan has filed a lawsuit against Atrium Health, arguing the hospital system has no legal right to set copay amounts for the plan's members. The dispute centers on who controls out-of-pocket costs for the roughly 750,000 state employees and teachers covered by the plan. The case escalates a broader fight between state health officials and one of the state's largest hospital systems over pricing power.
Why now: A legal fight between a major state health plan and one of North Carolina's largest hospital systems affects coverage costs for hundreds of thousands of public employees.
