Blue Cross and BCN extend no‑cost COVID‑19 treatment through Sept. 30, 2021

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network have extended cost‑share waivers through Sept. 30 for members in Blue Cross and BCN health plans who are diagnosed and treated for COVID‑19. This extension of this temporary benefit, which was set to expire on March 31, ensures members will not pay out‑of‑pocket costs — copays, deductibles, or coinsurance — for the medical care and pharmacy costs associated with COVID-19.

The cost‑share waiver applies to our Blue Cross and BCN commercial plans, as well as our Medicare Advantage plans. Blue Cross will continue to work with our large group customers on benefit changes, as some employers may have different benefit provisions.

With vaccines arriving, we are seeing signs of hope and promise in our collective fight against COVID‑19. But too many are still at risk — and many are still battling the virus — so we want our members and providers to know that we continue to stand behind them.
