Blueshield California – Health Plans

BlueCross BlueShield California is the largest health insurance company in the state with over 5 million members in almost all California counties. They offer health plans that can be customized for individuals, children, and families that include consumer-directed plans, Health Savings Accounts, and Medicare Supplements.

BlueShield California is the only ACA carrier that offers PPOs on the individual market; however, EPO and Ambetter plans offer the added option of using providers outside the state without referrals in many cases.

Blue Cross Gold Plans

All Blue Advantage Gold HMO Plans offer the same set of essential health benefits, quality and amount of care as the Blue Advantage Silver and Gold HMO Plans. The Blue Advantage Gold HMO Plans are the most expensive plans, but also have the most comprehensive benefits. Gold Plans have a higher monthly premium and often lower out-of-pocket costs than Silver and Bronze plans.

Blue Advantage Gold HMO Plans may be right for you if you are an individual or family who:

  • Are willing to have a primary care physician (PCP) coordinate your care
  • Prefers fixed doctor visit copayments
  • Are expecting to have surgery or major services in the near future and want the lowest out of pocket costs
  • Requires regular prescription medication

There are deductibles for this plan, and this is an HMO plan. You must select a Blue Advantage HMO Primary Care Physician (PCP) when enrolling in this plan.

Blue Cross Silver Plans

BlueCross BlueShield Silver plans offer a higher level of coverage than Bronze plans, and those who purchase on-exchange may also be eligible for cost-sharing reductions based on income, lowering deductibles and co-pays. Silver plans are ideal for people who have regular medications or utilize specialist or doctors visits more often than their included yearly check-up.  Silver plans are a good “middle of the road” option for people who might need to utilize their healthcare options more but may not be able to afford higher premium payments.

Blue Cross Bronze Plans

BlueCross BlueShield of Wisconsin Bronze plans are ideal for individuals looking for low-cost plans. Bronze plans have higher out of pocket costs, but two plans (the 106 and 104) also have HSA options for those looking for tax savings. These plans are ideal for those who do not have regular medications or visit the doctor outside of their yearly check-up (included as preventative care on all plans.)

Multi-State Plans

The Multi-State Plan (MSP) Program, established under the Affordable Care Act, directs the Federal Office of Personnel Management  to contract with private health insurers in each State to offer high-quality, affordable health insurance options called Multi-State Plans. There are no major differences between multi-state plans and other plans, and it does NOT mean these plans provide out of state benefits, just that benefits meet minimum requirements from state to state. Always check the doctor’s networks for each individual plans, and remember that emergency care is covered within the continental US.

  • Deductibles do not apply to oral exams, cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants and X-rays.
  • $1,000 orthodontia benefit for children under 19 years old
