Better insights, better business health care, better affordability, better communities.

At Blue Cross and Blue Shield (BCBS), we are committed to improving the health of the businesses and communities we serve. Our deep local roots give us a unique understanding of company medical and health care challenges at the heart of where care is delivered. Our unmatched national breadth—spanning every ZIP code in the U.S.—gives us expansive data and strong insights into how to improve care and drive equity and affordability in the big cities and small towns where your employees live and work.

Proven network and pharmacy solutions—tailored to your needs

We know every business has unique health insurance requirements—and your priorities are at the center of our company health plan solutions. From our comprehensive portfolio of network options to our cost-saving pharmacy solutions, we’ll work with you to holistically manage your employees’ health and experience—all while lowering costs.

NETWORK SOLUTIONS

Broad PPO

The purpose is to provide employees access and choice through a broad network of doctors and hospitals. Consider BlueCard® PPO, the nation’s leading PPO network providing an affordable benefit option spanning more than 1.8 million unique, in-network providers.

Narrow Providers

The purpose is to generate substantial savings by limiting employee access to select in-network providers who've shown to deliver care at lower costs. Consider the BlueSelect Network, which localizes networks that deliver incremental savings above and beyond BlueCard® PPO.

High Performance

The purpose is to provide employees access to a comprehensive network of quality providers while lowering overall cost. Consider Blue High Performance Network®, a new national network focused on delivering greater value through enhancing quality and increasing savings.

INTEGRATED HEALTH

Value-Based Care

Centers of Excellence

Purpose: Address the high costs of complex care while improving quality for employees in need of specialty care and procedures.

Consider: Blue Distinction^® Specialty Care. Centers of Excellence across all top 100 MSAs, targeting 11 high-cost specialty care areas.
