BCBS companies deliver market-leading total cost of care, 7% lower nationally, on average, than competitors.1
Using our total cost of care approach, we look at your organization’s total spending on health care and health benefits for your employees and their dependents. When members use their benefits across our network of providers, it results in a wealth of health care and provider data. This data gives BCBS companies deeper knowledge and sharper insights to anticipate employer needs.
We partner with employers to deliver comprehensive solutions that holistically manage how their employees’ care is delivered and experienced—all while lowering costs. We achieve this by:
Providing access to an unparalleled network
Guiding employees to higher performing care
Offering programs that support your employees’ whole health
Protecting employers’ investment by preventing billing and coding errors
