Negotiations are still ongoing between Duke Healthcare and Aetna, with their contract set to expire in less than a month. The State Health Plan (Plan) is Aetna’s largest client in our state and is watching the talks closely.

The Department of State Treasurer has successfully allocated nearly $150 million to communities in need in Western North Carolina. This money is meant as a way to help local governments get back on their feet as they wait for the federal government to send much needed relief dollars.

Local Government Commission (LGC) members cleared the way on Sept. 9 for the state to contract for an outside, independent audit of the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools.

State Treasurer Brad Briner has uncovered $170 million in unspent and unallocated funds as part of a detailed review of the state’s accounts.

Landmark legislation spearheaded by Treasurer Brad Briner earlier this year will revamp the way North Carolina’s $200 billion in public monies from the North Carolina Retirement Systems, cash management and other funds are managed.

The North Carolina State Health Plan is following through on its promise to not only provide support when members are in need, but also provide the needed prevention tools to help members stay healthy.

The State Health Plan (Plan) Board of Trustees met today to set premiums for 2026. State Health Plan members include teachers, state employees and retirees.
