Low-cost plan makes Blue Cross
Blue Shield coverage affordable
for young adults 11/29/06
He feels invincible, but you know your newly minted adult
child needs more than wishful thinking when it comes to his
health coverage. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan offers
affordable Young Adult BlueSM coverage to individuals
ages 19 to 30.
Young
Adult Blue is a PPO - preferred provider organization - that
can help fill the gap for your children who are no longer
eligible for coverage on your contract because of their age.
Young
Adult Blue ensures they have access to medical treatment when
they need it. And it ensures an injury or illness won't result
in massive medical bills.
A $1,000 annual deductible and 30 percent copayment for most
in-network services help keep the monthly premium to less
than $50. It's a cost-effective option for parents and young
adults who don't want to risk the consequences of having no
insurance.
Young
Adult Blue also includes:
-
Affinity Rx, a prescription drug program that allows members
to purchase prescription drugs at the reduced rates BCBSM
has negotiated with pharmacies.
-
The Blues discount programs for Weight Watchers®
, Naturally BlueSM alternative treatments and BlueSafeSM
safety and medical equipment.
-
BlueHealthConnection® to help members reach health
and fitness goals through online tools, 24-hour access to
registered nurses, programs for certain chronic conditions
and our free smoking cessation program, Quit the Nic.
