We’re changing the name of Blue Cross^® Personal Choice PPO to Blue Cross^® Physician Choice PPO

An innovative PPO product we introduced last year is getting a new name. Blue Cross Personal Choice PPO will be called Blue Cross Physician Choice PPO.

The product isn’t changing — just the name. The new name better reflects the member’s ability to select health care providers, choosing between the wide options of a traditional PPO plan and the ability to save money through coordinated care.

Members in Physician Choice PPO can lower their out-of-pocket costs when they select a primary care doctor affiliated with a Level 1 Organized System of Care and use other health care providers associated with that OSC. An OSC is a community of doctors and hospitals within the Blue Cross PPO network that helps coordinate care for Blue Cross members. They do this by connecting members to providers, specialists and acute care hospitals in their communities, resulting in integrated, cost-effective care.

More information about Physician Choice PPO is available on ereferrals.bcbsm.com. We’ll be changing the plan name on all of our materials over the next few months.
