Blue FocusCare HMO Plans have been discontinued and have been replaced by MyBlue Plus plans.
Blue FocusCare was an HMO plan offered in Cook County. It included a narrower HMO network and reduced costs compared to the Blue Precision HMO and BlueCare Direct HMO plans.
Blue FocusCare Plans were good for individuals that didnt mind limited networks.
The differences are how much your premium costs each month, what portion of the bill you pay for things like hospital visits or prescription medications, and how much your total out-of-pocket costs are.
There WERE* 3 Blue FocusCare Plans – ALL FOCUSCARE PLANS HAVE BEEN DISCONTINUED AS OF 12/31/2024
