June’s Employee Wellness Activities
Stella Health Navigation
Currituck County is pleased to offer a new healthcare navigation benefit to employees enrolled in the County’s health insurance plan for the 2026-2027 plan year. This benefit also extends to covered dependents and will take effect on Wednesday, July 1, 2026.
Stella Healthcare Navigation is a nurse-led healthcare navigation and advocacy service included with your medical plan at no cost to you. Stella is designed to help you and your family confidently navigate the complexities of healthcare.
With Stella, you’ll receive assistance with:
- Finding high-quality, in-network providers and specialists
- Navigating complex or challenging health situations
- Coordinating care with trusted partners when additional support is needed
- Understanding your care options with clarity and confidence
- Receiving ongoing, personalized support every step of the way
Currituck County has been assigned a dedicated nurse, Gretchen, whose contact information is included in the 2026–2027 Benefit Guide.
Stella complements—rather than replaces—the NCHIP Concierge Team. The NCHIP Concierge Team will continue to assist with questions related to claims, billing, and how to best use your health plan.
For more details, please refer to the flyer outlining the differences between the NCHIP Concierge Program and Stella Healthcare Navigation.
