PPO Plans
A Blue Shield preferred provider organization (PPO) plan maximizes flexibility and choice. We have a vast network of in-network physicians, so your employees can easily access quality care, including specialists, without a referral.
PPO plan options
We help small businesses grow with the right health coverage.
All Blue Shield PPO plans are available with our Full PPO network or our virtual-first Tandem PPO network and include providers in all 58 California counties.
This virtual-first PPO plan provides high-value, high-satisfaction virtual primary, specialty, and behavioral care. Your employees can always see an in-person doctor when necessary.
PPO savings plans, paired with HSAs, offer cost-effective health coverage. They’re ideal for budget-conscious groups.
Our Mirror PPO plans are identical to Blue Shield’s Covered California for Small Business (CCSB) offerings. They use the same Full PPO network as off-exchange plans.
Which PPO network fits your needs?
Our virtual-first Tandem PPO network features a streamlined set of providers with high-value member benefits like our Shield Concierge service, all at a lower cost.
Our Full PPO network is the most comprehensive option, giving members access to Blue Shield’s network of more than 80,000 doctors and 380 hospitals.
