WHAT’S NEW OR CHANGING?

Medical – BlueCross BlueShield of IL (BCBSIL)

We continue to offer a choice of medical plans: a PPO Plan (Blue Choice Options “small” network + PPO “large” network), and an HMO Plan (BlueAdvantage network).

The PPO Plan will move to the “Performance Drug List”. Impacted members will receive a letter in the mail.

Everyone who enrolls in medical coverage will receive a new ID card. Be sure to open all mail so you don’t mistake it for junk, and be sure to share your new ID with your doctors and pharmacies.

NEW VOLUNTARY BENEFITS! – Accident & Critical Illness

We are pleased to offer you and your family additional insurance plans on a voluntary basis. Similar to “Aflac” plans, the accident and critical illness plans help fill the gaps for out-of-pocket expenses for covered injuries and illnesses. Both plans also include a Wellness Benefit, where you can be paid $50 per year per person who gets a wellness screening (which is free through your BCBSIL medical insurance!).

Note that participation requirements must be met to bind coverage.
