Blue Access is the brand name for the preferred provider organization (PPO) plans offered by Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Indiana's largest health insurer.
Our comments on each of the Anthem traditional PPO plans for Indiana residents:
Sometimes it's difficult to choose between Blue Access Plan 2 and Blue Access Plan 3 -- Anthem's most popular Indiana plans -- as both offer superior benefits. Plan 2 is better for doctor's office visits, but Plan 3 more effectively limits your potential out-of-pocket expense. The two plans provide identical prescription drug card benefits.
With lower deductibles, a limited office visit co-pay benefit (3 visits per year) and a generic prescription co-pay card, Blue Access Economy looks like a budget version of the popular Blue Access Plan 2.
Anthem now offers a Term Life Insurance option and a Dental Insurance option. You can elect these coverage add-ons when you apply for Anthem health insurance.
All Plan Options utilize Anthem's extensive Blue Access PPO network in Indiana, and provide nationwide PPO access through the Blue Card Program, which represents the combined PPO networks of the USA's Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans.
