Blue HPN debuts in Michigan, nationally starting in January

Beginning in January 2021, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan will offer a new health care plan to some groups called Blue High Performance Network℠, or Blue HPN℠. These plans feature a new network of health care providers created in partnership with doctors and hospitals in communities in Michigan and across the country. They’re designed to help deliver patient-centric care and control costs for our members and customers.

Members in these plans can see any health care provider in the Blue HPN and they will have a standard set of out-of-pocket expenses. However, if the member sees a health care provider who isn’t part of the network, they’ll be responsible for the costs (except for emergency services and urgent care).

We’ll be reaching out to enrolled members to let them know that they should see Blue HPN health care providers if they need services. You’ll know that a member has selected the Blue HPN plan by their Blue Cross ID card or in web-DENIS when you check eligibility. A sample card is included below.

We’ll have more details and information in upcoming issues of The Record, so be sure to check back often.
