BCBSAZ – BlueSolutions
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona’s (BCBSAZ) is the next health insurance company that we will discuss in this continuing series of posts related to efforts by Blue Cross Blue Shield member health plans to undertake programs designed to increase access to affordable health insurance for the uninsured.
BCBSAZ launched a program called BlueSolutions which enables small businesses with fewer than 50 employees to offer low-premium, high-deductible health coverage to their workers. BlueSolutions covers a broad range of healthcare services such as urgent care and maternity care, with affordable co-pays for in-network physician visits and generic prescriptions.
The small business’ served by BlueSolutions were previously unable to offer any type of health insurance to their employees.
