Our Shield Concierge program takes a comprehensive population health approach to care management.  Our multidisciplinary team of nurses, behavioral health clinicians, health coaches, dietitians, pharmacists, and customer services representatives help members live better with illness, recover from acute conditions, and have a more seamless healthcare experience.

Program features include acute and chronic condition care management, in-home visits, biometric remote monitoring (for some conditions), in-person and online self-management workshops, virtual cognitive behavioral therapy modules, proactive outreach by a clinical team, and integration with our Engagement Point digital solution for improved engagement.

Body/Description

You may visit any doctor or hospital. You receive a higher level of benefits when you use Blue Shield PPO providers. You are responsible for ensuring all providers are in the network.

When you see a Non-Network provider you are responsible for the balance of your bill that is not covered by Blue Shield. The Out-of-Pocket Maximum does not apply to the balance of the bill not covered by Blue Shield.

This plan is compatible with an individual Health Savings Account (HSA), that you establish at a financial institution of your choice.
