Blue Shield uses cost information to insure the Covered California plans meet the company mission of access to high-quality health care at an affordable price; providers who demonstrate cost-effective care with high quality are included in the network. Blue Shield does not use quality measures, member experience measures, and patient safety measures to select our network.
