Blue Cross® and Blue Shield®of Illinois (BCBSIL) has removed the following Illinois residential requirement: “50% or more of the enrolled employees must reside in IL or the bordering states. The restriction still applies to group with 2-50 employees. BCBSIL is very competitive in this market and still uses a gatekeeper form, that means no individual underwriting on most groups.

In the past, this rule may have effectively removed BCBSIL as an option for many companies. If you are a group that has been affected by this rule in the past and would like get a Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois group quote, please email us at [email protected] with the subject BCBSIL group quote or contact us.
