The following documents are effective January 1, 2023.

To help your clients understand their plan benefits, we have provided documents in a simplified format which will either be the Summary of Benefits (SOB) or a Benefit Summary only for specific Specialty plans. Your client will also be able to access their SOB as part of their Evidence of Coverage (EOC) or policy on blueshieldca.com/policies along with their Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC).
When sharing the SOB and/or Benefit Summary with your client, you must also provide the Legal Disclosure document applicable to the medical, dental or vision plan.

Alaska Native and American Indian Plans
We offer American Indian and Alaska Native plans for each metal level that are available only to eligible American Indians and Alaska Natives through Covered California. These plans differ from the standard metal level plans in that they allow American Indian and Alaska Native members to access covered services from American Indian and Alaskan Native providers for no out-of-pocket costs. In addition to the Alaska Native and American Indian versions of the standard metal level plans, we offer a $0 cost share PPO plan to American Indian and Alaska Native members who qualify based on household income. Members can choose to access covered services through a Blue Shield participating provider or non-network provider for an out-of-pocket cost.
