Enrollment System Gets New Name – eBenefits! The State Health Plan and NCFlex enrollment system has a new name – eBenefits! The Plan changed the name of its enrollment system to eBenefits to emphasize that the online system provides easy access to the full spectrum of member benefit information, from enrollment to benefit details, including NCFlex benefits. When employees click on eBenefits, they will be taken to the eBenefits page (formerly eEnroll). The new name, encourages members to think about eBenefits as the online gateway to all their benefit needs, not just enrollment.  Once logged into eBenefits, members can easily access Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (Blue Cross NC) through Blue Connect to learn more about their claims and other benefits, or visit CVS Caremark to view pharmacy information. Members can also access their other benefits, including NCFlex, by clicking on the Benefits icon on the left-hand menu, once logged into eBenefits.

2019 NCFlex Enrollment Guide The enrollment guide for 2019 will be available for order very soon. You'll be able to find a link on the HBR portion of our webpage in the next week or two. Once the link is up and running we will send out an HBR alert. New Allstate Contact Be sure to refer to the most up-to-date copy of the HBR Administration Manual for any changes. The most recent change was the HBR contact for Allstate, from Kesha Barnes to Brenda Ramsey.
