BC of NC is good, but it's next to impossible to contract with them unless you write for them solely. Unitedhealth is very good and Humana is decent. Assurant is pretty good too.

Wonder who I could contact with BC of NC , or Assurant might be a good opportunity.

I used to live in NC and I tried to get with BCBS many times. They really don't like to work with independent brokers there in the state.

I finally got ahold of someone on the contracting side of things and they said that I could get contracted with them as long as I agreed to write $100k in premium and attend a 3 day training.

Needless to say I didn't do this because I'd have to be more like a captive agent. They do have a decent plan, etc., for NC, but depending on the area you live in, you can do very well with Coventry/Wellpath and Unitedhealthcare. I was in the Charlotte area and found that I really didn't need BCBS. If I was doing Medicare Advantage, however, I would have had to get with BC of NC.

Assurant is good, but they would be a third or fourth option. Get with UHC, Aetna, Coventry, and then Assurant.
