BasicBlue Overview

Our Rating: BasicBlue Plans

BasicBlue provides basic coverage at the lowest price. It provides coverage for hospitalization, surgery, testing and emergency medical services, but does not cover outpatient doctor office visits and prescriptions. BasicBlue is a good choice for those seeking the lowest cost, but needing coverage for health services most likely to involve catastrophic expenses.

Key BasicBlue® plan features include:
  • Inpatient hospitalization services
  • Outpatient diagnostic testing for same-day emergency surgery
  • Your choice of a $500, $1,000 or $2,500 annual deductible for individuals (3x for families)
  • 20% coinsurance
  • Optional dental coverage
  • Unlimited lifetime maximum

BasicBlue® may be right for you if you are an individual or family who:

  • Are healthy
  • Do not regularly visit a doctor
  • Don’t usually take prescription medication
  • Want a safety net for unanticipated hospitalization expenses
