MyBlue Plus POS Gold Plans

Due to CMS limits on the number of products offered by insurance carriers, BCBSIL will be discontinuing BlueFocus Care HMO and will instead launch a new POS product offering, MyBlue Plus. This new network offers a low-cost solution for cost-conscious members who purchase health insurance through state and federal marketplaces. Highlights of MyBlue Plus POS include:
  • Claims processing and health care management through Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois
  • Primary care provider election assigned at the individual provider level
  • Referrals required to access in-network benefits, except for PCP services
  • Out-of-network benefit to provide additional access to care
  • Service area: Cook, DuPage, Kane, Kankakee and Will counties

Gold plans may be for you if you have more health care needs than most, have a spouse/children on your plan or want to grow your family soon, or prefer to pay more each month but have lower out-of-pocket expenses. Below is a quick summary of available plans and what we know so far.

Below is a summary of the three MyBlue Plus POS Gold Plan Options. See toggles below for each plan detail or download the available plan summaries.
