Health Insurance Plans for Individuals & Families

For more than 60 years Blue Shield of California has provided Californians with quality health insurance plans for their families.  Today the tradition continues.  Blue Shield of California currently offers more than 20 health plans to choose from.  Five PPO Plans called Shield Spectrum PPO, 4 Active Start Plans, the Active Start 25 and the Active Start 35, Access+ HMO and 2 Shield Spectrum PPO Savings Plans (HSA eligible) and the all new Vital Shield and Vital Shield Plus Plans.  All Blue Shield of California plans are structured to include more cost effective sharing with their members.  In short this means that members who use more services or more expensive healthcare providers will be responsible for a larger portion of the costs.

Today, you can't afford to be without health coverage. Health coverage helps protect you physically and financially. Having Blue Shield of California health coverage means you'll have access to over 45,000 doctors and more than 350 hospitals if you need medical care, and it also means you will only have to pay a small fraction of the total cost of your care. Since the doctors and hospitals in their networks have agreed to bill specific fees for their services (called "Allowable Amounts"), Blue Shield can further protect you from the high costs you would be subject to without coverage.
