Health Care Service Corp. will launch a new line of commercial health plans called Edge across all five of its Blue Cross Blue Shield states beginning in 2027.
The plans, powered by a proprietary plan design called Easify, have no deductibles and no coinsurance for in-network care, leaving members with fixed copays, according to a June 11 news release.
HCSC said the PPO plans aim to let employees in Illinois, Texas, Oklahoma, Montana and New Mexico anticipate out-of-pocket costs more easily and help employers better manage total medical spend. HCSC also said the new product will steer members toward “high-value” care using behavioral incentives.
At the Becker's 5th Annual Fall Payer Issues Roundtable, taking place November 2–3 in Chicago, payer executives and healthcare leaders will come together to discuss value-based care, regulatory changes, cost management strategies and innovations shaping the future of payer-provider collaboration.
