Blue High Performance Network®

BlueHPN is designed to give your employees quality care at a lower cost to you.

Affordable health insurance for employees

  1. Your employees will have access to a national network of BlueHPN providers.
  2. BlueHPN providers have been carefully chosen to provide convenient and affordable health care.
  3. There is no coverage outside the network, but employees will have access to emergency care.*
  4. Providers commit to a total cost-of-care savings of 8% or higher over Blue Cross PPO network costs.

Employee benefits

How is BlueHPN different?
BlueHPN is a narrow network. Employees will pay less for appointments and services, but it doesn’t include any out-of-network coverage except emergency care. This means your employees must be sure the providers, clinics or hospitals they choose accept BlueHPN or they may be responsible for up to the total cost of their out-of-network care.

This smaller network was created in partnership with providers and hospitals who’ve been chosen based on their commitment to national and local quality standards. We've also evaluated their ability to meet the most important needs of each community. This includes assessing how consistently providers are:

  • Delivering appropriate care
  • Providing better outcomes
  • Following best practices
  • Encouraging better health management

By choosing BlueHPN, your employees will have access to a full range of primary care providers, specialists and hospitals in 65+ major metro areas.**

Before they choose, it’s a good idea to have them search to see if their current primary care and other providers are in network. If the providers or services aren’t on the list, they’ll need to find new ones to be covered. They can also search other areas where they or members of their family live, visit or go to school.

Our agents can help you set up your plan, enroll your employees and determine the easiest way to set up payments. Contact an agent to learn more. 

There are three types of accounts used to pay for medical expenses: a health savings account, or HSA, a health reimbursement arrangement, or HRA, and a flexible spending account, also known as an FSA.

These accounts are part of what's called consumer-directed health care. They offer:

  • Potential tax savings by being tax exempt or tax deductible
  • More control over health care costs
  • Lower health care costs
