WORKING WITH US

We think the way you do

 

At Blue Shield of California Promise Health Plan, you'll find a level of understanding and communication that helps both your practice and your patients. Since our executive leadership includes physicians, we value a "patients first" philosophy of care. We strive to work closely with you, be responsive, and understand the challenges your practice or provider organization faces in providing care.

Our goals include providing programs and opportunities for our providers that demonstrate our dedication to supporting you when providing care. Through our Medi-Cal and Cal MediConnect dual-coverage plans and provider networks, we are dedicated to offering Californians access to quality, affordable care.

*Note that effective January 1, 2021, the Blue Shield Promise contract with Medicare has been transferred to Blue Shield of California, which now manages our Medicare Advantage program.
