Blue Cross Blue Shield Plans

Blue Cross Blue Shield offers plans catering to women’s health. The PPO plans offer out-of-network benefits and flexibility when it comes to referrals. However, there are lower-cost alternatives, as well. HMO plans have lower premiums but require a set primary care doctor who is responsible for referring to other specialists. HMOs don’t provide out-of-network benefits. Similarly, EPO plans do not provide out-of-network benefits either, but they do have larger networks. Apart from individual and family plans, Blue Cross Blue Shield also offers employer-based plans. Some of the popular plans selected by Zocdoc include:

1. BlueCard PPO
2. BlueCard PPO Basic
3. Federal Employee Program - Basic Option

How can lawfully present Immigrants in the United States avail insurance?

• Private Health Insurance through the Insurance Marketplace

• State Government plans like Medicaid & CHIP plans are available if they meet the state’s income and residency guidelines. In order to avail Medicaid and CHIP coverage, many suitable non-citizens (such as many LPRs or green card holders) have a waiting period of five years. This means their waiting period is of 5 years after receiving "qualified" immigration status before they can get Medicaid and CHIP coverage.

Are there any state specific restrictions for immigrants' insurances?

• Federal govt. does not provide any undocumented immigrants with any insurances.
• However, some states provide fully state-funded coverage to fill gaps in coverage for immigrant children, some extend coverage to pregnant women regardless of their immigration status & some also allow adult immigrants.
