About WellCare of North Carolina
WellCare of North Carolina was a Centene-affiliated Medicaid Standard Plan. On April 1, 2026 it merged into Carolina Complete Health, which is also Centene-affiliated. The combined plan operates under the Carolina Complete Health name.
Some former WellCare members also hold a Medicare or dual-eligible (D-SNP) product. If your card says D-SNP or you have both Medicare and Medicaid, tell us — it changes the billing order but not your access.
