  For
more than 60 years Blue Shield of California has provided
Californians with quality health plans for their families. Today
the tradition continues. Blue Shield of California
currently offers 10 health plans to choose from. Five PPO Plans called
Shield Spectrum PPO, Active Start Plan 35, Active Choice Plan 600, Access+
HMO and Shield Spectrum PPO Savings Plans (MSA eligible). These
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.
Blue Shield of California was the first to introduce a two
tiered level of providers (doctors and hospitals) into
two categories - Choice and Affiliated. Members
who receive care from the more expensive Affiliated providers
will pay more of the out-of-pocket costs.
When you choose any Blue Shield of California plan, you can
rely on quality benefits, friendly customer service,
and peace of mind that comes with a long-time leader
in the health care industry. To view outlines of
