Blue Advantage® 

A Primary Care Health Product

With Blue Advantage, your health care is coordinated by a primary care physician (PCP), ensuring continuity of care.

Here’s what you need to know about Blue Advantage:

  • PCP-coordinated care. Choose a PCP from a wide selection of providers in the Wellmark Health Plan of Iowa to coordinate your care. In addition to a PCP, females may also designate a network OB/GYN.
  • Use network providers. To receive benefits, you must receive services from health care providers who are part of the Wellmark Health Plan of Iowa network. Benefits are not available if you go out of network. If you need medical attention away from home, the BlueCard program gives you access to more than 6,000 hospitals and 600,000 doctors around the world for emergency/urgent care.
  • A focus on preventive care. Blue Advantage offers benefits designed to keep you healthy. Preventive care such as routine physicals, immunizations, and well-child care is covered when you visit your PCP.

Note: This information is only a summary of the benefits of Blue Advantage coverage. It is for descriptive purposes only. Benefits and general provisions described herein are subject to the terms of the actual health insurance policy and benefits certificate.
