If your children are eligible for NC Health Choice, you will receive a booklet from Blue Cross/Blue Shield describing the covered services and how to obtain them.  In addition, families who exceed 150% of the federal poverty level must pay an annual enrollment fee of $50 for each eligible child (not to exceed $100 per family), and a small co-payment at the time services are received.  Your total out-of-pocket expenses can not exceed 5% of your income.  Social Services will notify you in writing if you must pay an enrollment fee, the amount, and how to pay the fee.
