Rite Care for Kids Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Rhode Island (BCBSRI), a RIte Care
participating health plan for the past 16 years, decided for business
reasons not to submit a proposal to continue participating in RIte Care.
The State will be working closely with BCBSRI in the next few months to
assure a smooth transition of approximately 15,000 RIte Care members
(6,600 families) from BCBSRI to UnitedHealthcare of New England (UHC) or
Neighborhood Health Plan of Rhode Island (NHPRI)
