Chicago-area residents now have a new choice for health care coverage. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois (BCBSIL) has teamed up with Advocate Health Care* to offer a new, more affordable health plan — BlueCare Direct.

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. 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.
