Blue FocusCare Plans

Blue FocusCare Plans

Blue FocusCare – 2024 Plans

Blue FocusCare is an HMO plan offered in Cook County. It includes a narrower HMO network and reduced costs compared to the Blue Precision HMO and BlueCare Direct HMO plans.

Blue FocusCare Plans are good for individuals that don’t mind limited networks. If you do not make frequent hospital visits and only need to have your basic needs covered this may be the cost efficient choice for you. If you can accept some reduced hospital and physician choice, Blue FocusCare may be a great option for you. All Blue FocusCare plans offer the same set of essential health benefits, quality and amount of care.

The differences are how much your premium costs each month, what portion of the bill you pay for things like hospital visits or prescription medications, and how much your total out-of-pocket costs are.

There are 3 Blue FocusCare Plans:
