BlueSimplicitySM Health Plans
2020 ACA Plan Comparison Guide for Small Groups | Iowa
Make it easy for your employees to know how much a service or procedure will cost before they go for care. BlueSimplicity is an innovative health plan that assigns copays based on the type of service received.
BlueSimplicity plan options
With BlueSimplicity, services are grouped into six levels, making it easy for your employees to know their cost share even before receiving services.
- Level 1: services are free and include preventive services.
- Level 6: address more serious health needs, such as air ambulance services and hospitalizations.
Regardless of the network you choose, all the products below are available. Amounts in the table reflect covered in-network services only. For PPO and POS plans, additional cost-shares will apply to out-of-network services.
All plans use Blue Rx Essentials℠ pharmacy benefits.
