Today’s workforce has shifted significantly, with more employers offering work-from-home opportunities to provide employees greater flexibility to choose where they live, work and play.
This trend is evident in our own data at CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield (CareFirst): 85% of our employer partners offer national coverage to their employees, with more than half living outside our service area (Maryland, Washington D.C. and Northern Virginia).
To meet the changing needs of our customers and members, CareFirst is innovating with products like BlueChoice Advantage 2.0.
Access to a National Network
BlueChoice Advantage 2.0 combines the comprehensive, whole-health care benefits of the original BlueChoice Advantage product—including CareFirst WellBeingSM, Blue365 wellness discount program, Blue Rewards incentive program and more—with a nationwide network of quality providers. This includes access to nearly two million doctors and hospitals nationwide.
In addition, BlueChoice Advantage 2.0 enables employers to provide employees and their eligible dependents with global coverage through the Blue Cross Blue Shield Global® Core program, a worldwide network of providers, hospitals and other healthcare professionals in nearly 200 countries.*
Through the Power of Blue, BlueChoice Advantage 2.0 makes it easier for employers to connect employees to affordable coverage. No matter where employees choose to live, they can get the care they need, when they need it, to better manage their personal health and wellness goals.
