BlueCare Direct with Advocate Bronze Plans
BlueCare Direct. Great Access. More Affordable Coverage.
BlueCare Direct combines the strength, expertise and reputation of two of the state’s most respected leaders in the health industry. Advocate is the largest health system in Illinois, and BCBSIL is the largest health insurer in the state. Advocate is uniquely positioned to deliver quality patient outcomes, while working to manage overall health care costs, with the goal of delivering value to our members. BlueCare may be right for you if you are willing to have a primary care physician (PCP) coordinate your care, prefer or live near an Advocate hospital (Cook, Dupage, Kane, Lake, and Will Counties), are expecting to have surgery or major services in the near future and want the lowest out of pocket costs, or require regular prescription medication.
Bronze plans may be for you if you have fewer medical needs, would rather have a low monthly payment, and don’t take prescription drugs regularly.
