Blue Shield has announced an average 15% rate reduction for Bronze, Silver, and Gold plans for 1-50 groups, and an average 10% rate reduction for 51-100 groups in Q4 2022. The rate reduction does not apply to Platinum and Diamond tier plans.
And to provide your clients with easy-to-understand options, 22 new DPPO plans were introduced in January 2022. The plans (listed below) are in five categories, mirroring the naming convention of medical plans: Bronze/Bronze Voluntary, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond. Plus, there’s now more flexible member access to the dental cleaning benefits included in their plans. Instead of the previously allowed one cleaning in a 6-month period, as of January 2022, members are eligible for two cleanings in a consecutive 12-month period.

Pregnancy termination services are now restricted or banned in several states as a result of the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade.
In California, access to pregnancy termination services is protected by state law. However, Blue Shield of California members living in some other states may be negatively impacted by the change.
In response, Blue Shield is introducing a Travel Reimbursement Program for Pregnancy Termination Services. The program assists Blue Shield members living in states that implement restrictions or bans on pregnancy termination services with access to these services in other states where they remain legally available.
The program is available to members in all fully-insured and self-funded groups, except for those groups without pregnancy termination benefits or those groups that elect to opt out of the program. Get the details.
