We’ve launched an affordable and flexible product suite – BlueChoicesSM – offering a new consumer-directed approach to health care. Now you can tailor coverage to your business needs.

Employers get the freedom to mix and match products, provider networks and plans. Choose a smaller network with slimmer benefits for a less-expensive approach…or create a plan with a richer benefit package and an extensive selection of providers. The choice is yours.

All BlueChoices products offer numerous advantages, such as preventive benefits, BlueCard® nationwide coverage, and Special Beginnings® prenatal education. And, unlike an HMO, primary care physicians and specialist referrals are not required. So members can see any doctor they choose, hassle-free.

To choose coverage, just pick a spot on this matrix to match a product with a network, and then you can choose from three deductibles.
