Blue Shield of CA

For most people, health insurance is a critical element in the process of seeking drug and alcohol treatment. That’s true because your coverage will likely help reduce your overall rehab costs. Depending on your insurance policy, the amount you save may be extensive. It can make a difference in your ability to afford your recommended treatment plan. 

In Southern California, one of the primary sources of health insurance is Blue Shield of CA. Blue Shield of California covers a wide array of the most essential drug and alcohol rehab services. It also features a variety of specific plan types for people from all walks of life.

Depending on your situation, your current coverage may fall into any of these categories. 

Some Blue Shield of California plans are health maintenance organizations, while others are preferred provider organizations. What’s the difference between the two insurance models? A health maintenance organization (H.M.O.) limits your monthly premiums by doing such things as:

• Requiring you to choose a primary doctor
• Allowing you to seek referrals for specialized care only through that doctor
• Requiring you to use in-network treatment providers in all non-emergency situations

A preferred provider organization (P.P.O.) typically requires you to pay a higher monthly premium. In compensation for that higher premium, you:

• Avoid the requirement to pick a primary doctor or seek referrals for specialized care
• Can choose out-of-network providers for an extra fee

In greater Los Angeles, your Blue Shield of CA options may include the Trio Accountable Care Organization H.M.O. network. This network delivers extra savings when compared to most H.M.O. plans. It also gives you access to Blue Shield of California’s Shield Concierge program. This program provides you with personalized resources for customer care. 

Your options may also include the Tandem P.P.O. network. This network provides the typical benefits of a P.P.O. plan. However, it does so at a lower cost than many preferred provider organizations. It also provides access to the Shield Concierge program.
