In a Nutshell

You have options between Core and Plus medical plans on Blue Shield. The Core plans have a higher in- and out-of-network deductible but offer lower monthly premiums coupled with a company sponsored Health Reimbursement Account (HRA). The Plus plans have no in- and lower out-of-network deductible but have higher monthly premiums. Preventive services remain covered at 100% in-network across Core and Plus plans.

How It Works

See the primary care doctor of your choice - you're covered on your first visit! Remember, you get the best cost savings when you see a provider in the Blue Shield PPO network.

Find In-network Providers

Provider networks can change year to year.  The best way to confirm if your provider is in-network for 2024 is to reach out to Blue Shield Connect Member Support: 

  • (888) 499-5532

You can also search for in-network providers online using the Blue Shield Provider Look-Up tools. For California based employees, please use this look-up tool. For all other locations, use this look-up tool (you’ll need your home location and the 3-letter prefix from your specific plan. See the prefix options listed below).

How to Enroll

Flock is our online benefits enrollment system. Once you begin work at Collective Health, you will be able to log in to Flock via Okta to confirm your demographic information and submit your benefit elections. If you have dependents that you want to enroll, you'll need to add them as a dependent on your profile before making your benefits selections (be sure to select them on each benefit enrollment page that you would like them added to)!

If you opt into Electronic Authorization in Flock, you will not receive printed medical ID cards. Members will be directed to access a digital ID card on the Blue Shield website. Members with currently active ID cards will automatically be updated to the up-to-date plan information at any time (like after a new plan year).
