Can I buy Blue Cross and Blue Shield insurance without a Social Security number?
YES!
We have had an rise in the number of clients recently that have been shopping for individual health insurance that have run into problems because they do not have a Social Security number. The knowledgeable staff at IBD Insurance Services understand this and have a solution to this problem.
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (BCBSNC) will offer health insurance to legal residents of North Carolina that medically qualify for coverage, even if they do not have a Social Security number. The individual must submit a paper application and complete a special residency verification form. Individuals without Social Security numbers cannot apply online. In addition to these forms, the individual must be able to provide one of the following documents to verify their legal residency:
- North Carolina Driver License
- North Carolina Tax Return
- North Carolina Voter Registration Card
If someone is enrolling in an individual Blue Advantage policy, they must have one of these documents. If someone is enrolling in a family Blue Advantage plan with a spouse, one of the two adults on the policy must be able to provide one of these documents.
BCBSNC does not publish the paper application for Blue Advantage on their website. Individuals without a social security number need to contact IBD Insurance Services to get this form. Our polite staff can assist you with the necessary documentation to ensure that your application is reviewed by BCBSNC. Call us today at 800-615-5980 to get the process started.
