NOTE: Our BlueChoice insurance policy does not provide coverage for mental health services, including treatment for alcoholism, drug addiction, and psychiatric conditions. Since applications for BlueChoice take time to process and you are not guaranteed coverage, we advise you to keep your current coverage in effect until we notify you that your new coverage is active.

Preexisting Condition Exclusion Period: Treatment of preexisting conditions or diseases, until this policy has been in effect continuously for twelve (12) months, are not covered. This means a condition or disease which causes symptoms, before the effective date, that would have caused an ordinarily prudent person to seek diagnosis, care or treatment. This also applies to aggravations of such conditions or diseases. There is NO credit given toward the preexisting condition period for prior health insurance.


Choose Your Plan Options

Choose the deductible, coinsurance or copayment amounts that work best for you. Select a prescription drug plan. Add maternity benefits if you need them. Deductibles range from $500 to $25,000. You also can add term life insurance, with benefit amounts ranging from $10,000 to $50,000, and critical illness coverage.

Important Note: This Web site contains a summary of benefits available to you through BlueChoice; it is not your insurance contract. Please refer to your policy for a complete list of limitations and exclusions.
