Shield Savings Plans Make Sense

The Shield Savings Plans from Blue Shield of California help protect you against major health expenses. If you want protection against major healthcare expenses with possible additional tax-savings when you set up a Health Savings Account (HSA), then the Shield Savings Plans may be what you are looking for.

Blue Shield of California's Shield Savings Plans provide basic healthcare coverage at their most affordable monthly rates. Now you can meet your essential healthcare needs at lower monthly dues than you might expect.

You'll receive full plan benefits and discounted provider charges nationwide when you travel in the United States. Plus, worldwide emergency coverage protects you from financial risk.

Put yourself in control, and save money while doing so

Shield Savings plans are Blue Shield high-deductible health plans (HDHP) that are compatible with Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), offering you lower premiums/dues than most other Blue Shield PPO Plans. Plus, when paired with an HSA, you gain control over how to spend your healthcare dollars. With a variety of rates, plans and deductibles to choose from, the Shield Savings portfolio has the coverage you want.

Bridge Plan brings peace of mind

If you're concerned about saving up enough money to pay for your medical deductible, there's no need to worry. By buying the hospital indemnity rider, Bridge Plan, you get the security of supplementing your health coverage if you are hospitalized during the first 12 months of coverage.
