Dear Toastie:

We want to let you know about a very important program offered through your Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (BCBSNC) health plan. A representative will contact you shortly to let you know about our personalized nursing support services that are available to you at no additional cost.

Wow! Sounds amazing! Tell me more!

The health care staff at BCBSNC includes nurse case managers, social workers, and a registered, licensed dietitian.

OMG, that’s awesome! That sounds just like my dialysis provider! I’m so lucky to have them looking out for me, because my health is their #1 concern. I’m sure it’s yours, too, BCBSNC, and that’s why you do this!

Blah blah blah…help you better manage and improve your health….blah blah blah

Dear BCBSNC:

My employer and I pay you a monthly premium. You cut checks. Repeat until we tell you otherwise. That’s all you need to do. Now leave me alone.
