2013 Standard and Basic Option Service Benefit Plan Summary


VALUE OF BLUE Choosing the right coverage with the benefits and rates that meet your familys health care needs is important. But there is more to health insurance than just benefits and premiums. There is also the added value that the Service Benefit Plan can bring to you and your familys health and wellness. Like the value of our 24/7 nurse advice line that provides personalized services from people who care about you and your family. Our Preferred provider network of hospitals, physicians, pharmacies and other health care professionals is almost one million strong so you can find a network provider near where you live and nationwide. Plus you save money when you use Preferred providers. You have the security of knowing that the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Service Benefit Plan ID card is not only recognized in the US, but worldwide. We also provide a special free assistance center to help you when you travel overseas. We reward you for managing your health with a $50 MyBlue Wellness Incentive debit card for taking the Blue Health Assessment and up to three online coaching sessions. The value of Blue is all these things and more. And if you need to talk to someone about your questions, you can call our Open Season Information Center at 1.800.411.BLUE beginning October 22 through December 28, 2012. BASIC OPTION Network Providers Under Basic Option, you use Preferred providers for all the medical care you and your family need.
