YOUR PLAN   


The first thing to consider is what type of health benefits plan you have. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Delaware (BCBSD) offers the following plans. Your employer may offer one or a choice of these plans to you:

BlueAdvantage® Consumer-Directed Health Plans: BlueAdvantage is a group of innovative, high-deductible plans based on our popular PPO and EPO plans. You’ll have the freedom to self-manage a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) — using pre-tax dollars. Through our website you can access a helpful hospital comparison tool and up-to-date provider directory — plus a comprehensive set of preventive programs and wellness tools to help you stay healthy.

BlueCare® IPA: Your primary care physician provides basic medical care — referring you to specialists and hospitals when needed. BlueCare Independent Practice Association (IPA) keeps your out-of-pocket costs low, while covering most preventive care.

BlueSelect® POS: With this point of service (POS) plan, each time you receive care, you select how your benefits work. To get the most from your benefits, you would get your care from the primary care physician you have chosen — including referrals to go to specialists. However, you can still select any doctor or hospital and have services covered at the lower out-of-network level.

BlueChoice® PPO: The freedom to choose is yours — save money by seeing one of the preferred providers in our vast BlueCard® network — over 600,000 doctors and over 5,000
hospitals nationwide — or visit the doctor or hospital of your choice, covered at the lower out of network level.With BlueChoice Preferred Provider Organization (PPO), you won’t need to
designate a primary care physician.

SimplyBlue EPO: This exclusive provider organization (EPO) plan enables you to visit any doctor or hospital within the Blue Cross Blue Shield provider network in Delaware — plus over 600,000 doctors and over 5,000 hospitals in the BlueCard® network across the country. This cost-effective plan does not provide out-of-network benefits if care is rendered by non-preferred providers.

BlueClassic® Traditional: Our traditional health plan gives you the most freedom. Choose any doctors, specialists or hospitals — without a referral.
