BlueSelect^® is now available for small groups and individuals under 65 in Hillsborough and Pinellas counties. This product is designed for the working uninsured, underinsured and those about to become uninsured. It is not intended for use as a lower-cost product in general or for those qualifying for subsidized health care.

BlueSelect health benefit plans offer support services, personalized care and preventive programs that utilize a community-focused network without reducing benefits. The network covers all medical specialties but consists of a smaller number of providers compared to other networks. This makes it especially important that members check to see if their doctor or hospital is part of the BlueSelect network. The network is a combination of PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) and EPO (Exclusive Provider Organization). It is not an extension of BlueOptions^®.

With a BlueSelect health benefit plan, the following services are covered:

• ER visits and all related services
• Maternity, mammograms, colonoscopies and well-child care visits, including checkups and immunizations
• All diabetic equipment and supplies
• Office visits, inpatient and outpatient services

There are certain services, facilities and supplies that are covered ONLY under the exclusive providers within the BlueSelect network:

• Clinical lab tests
• Behavioral health care and substance dependency services
• Durable medical equipment and medical supplies
• Home health care services

Be sure to read the BlueSelect details and the pharmacy details that are specific to BlueSelect. The BlueSelect Medication Guide is available on www.bcbsfl.com.

Please review the ID card, the Business Decision Maker Brochure and the Enrollment Guide, too.

Remember, we will be expanding BlueSelect into additional counties this year and will keep you informed.
