Blue Shield (HMO)
Blue Shield of California is a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO). An HMO is a medical plan that requires you to receive all of your care from contracted health care providers. Services are provided by a primary care physician who treats you or, when necessary, refers you to other doctors within the HMO network. Most services are covered at 100% after you pay the applicable copayment.
To participate in the Blue Shield of California HMO plan, you must live in one of the zip code service areas served by the HMO.
Refer to the applicable Blue Shield Evidence of Coverage for a detailed list of covered services, exclusions and limitations.
