All-New Blue Shield Plans

With the newly added Blue Shield plans, Covered California for Small Business (CCSB) provides even more options for enrollees.

Effective July 1 these plans are new:

• Access+ HMO Network: Blue Shield’s full HMO network, is now available in Platinum, Gold, and Silver metal tier plans. These plans had been available only with the Trio HMO network. Access+ plans include the richer Rx Ultra pharmacy network.
• Bronze Trio HMO 7000/70. Professional services are not subject to a deductible. Includes integrated pharmacy deductible and access to Concierge Member Services.
• HSA Plans: two of Blue Shield’s most popular HDHP plans: Silver Full PPO Savings 2300/25% and Bronze Full PPO Savings 7000 plans. Both plans feature the Full PPO network. In both plans, the deductible and out-of-pocket maximum are the same. No additional cost to the member after the deductible is met.

All Blue Shield plans through CCSB provide members access to Wellvolution (including Headspace and Ginger), Teladoc Mental Health, Nurse Help 24/7, LifeReferrals 24/7, and the Blue Card program for when members are outside of California.
