Plans Prior to 2012

Small Groups (2 to 50)

Plans effective from January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011

We are delighted to present Simply Shield, our portfolio with a fresh, streamlined approach to delivering clear, simple healthcare coverage options for small businesses. Simply Shield offers a selection of smart and affordable plans that are easy to understand and manage. The plans are designed so you can clearly pinpoint the level of coverage that's right for you. Once you see how one plan family works, you'll be on your way to understanding them all. Each plan family contains several options, so you can offer your employees clear choices from Blue Shield. It's that simple.

The Simply Shield portfolio includes 35 recently introduced simplified plans, including PPOHealth Savings Account (HSA)-compatible high-deductible health plan (HDHP), and HMO plan options, as well as seven popular plans that remain available in the Simply Shield portfolio.

For renewing small groups beginning on or after January 1, 2012, "grandfathered" plans from the small group portfolio have been withdrawn and are not available for renewal. If your employees are currently enrolled in plans being discontinued in 2012 and no longer offered as of your renewal date, we've made it easy for you to enroll in a plan from the Simply Shield portfolio by providing you with specific plan recommendations.
