Cal MediConnect plan highlights
Coordinated care
A Cal MediConnect plan puts a coordinated organization of doctors, hospitals, pharmacies and providers at your fingertips with the help of an experienced Care Navigator. The Care Navigator coordinates all of your providers and services to make sure you get the care you need, and is available to answer your questions and refer you to any community resources you may need. Your care team will work with you to come up with an Individualized Care Plan (ICP) to help you lead a healthy, independent life in your own home and community.
Eyewear
As a Blue Shield Cal MediConnect plan member you will have up to $500 for eyewear every two years.
Prescription drugs and preferred pharmacy benefits
Your Blue Shield Promise Cal MediConnect Plan includes Part D prescription drug coverage including a quarterly over-the-counter (OTC) allowance that allows you to purchase OTC products you may need. Learn more about the drugs covered in your plan, what pharmacies you can use to fill your prescriptions, and other pharmacy programs available to you.
