New Century Health and National Imaging Associates are now Evolent!

Date: 03/07/24

As you may be aware, Ambetter of North Carolina Inc. partners with New Century Health (NCH) and National Imaging Associates (NIA) for the utilization management of certain services (see list below).

As of Jan. 1, 2024, New Century Health and NIA are now Evolent Specialty Services, Inc. (“Evolent”). This name change reflects the decision by Evolent to unify its family of brands, including New Century Health and NIA under a single name, with a focus on improving outcomes across multiple specialties and primary care.

Along with this rebranding, Evolent is undertaking a coordinated effort to update New Century Health and NIA materials with the new name and logo. This should have no immediate impact on your experience or on the care of your members, and you do not need to take any action. The portals, links and processes that you currently use will remain in use. Later this year, these online resources will redirect to a new experience reflecting the company’s new name and brand.
