Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois is the largest health insurer in the state, providing more than 5 million members with comprehensive and affordable health plans. With over 90 years of experience, BCBSIL offers health coverage you and your employees can trust.
Our roots go back nearly a century, when we offered the first health insurance plans in the U.S. These plans were created for working people—teachers, miners and lumberjacks who wanted affordable, quality health care.
The need for affordable, quality health care has not changed, and employees continue to expect this benefit from their employers. As a statewide customer-owned health insurer, our mission is to bring both access and affordability to employers and their teams.
We bring the best of both worlds to our members and their communities:
When you consider Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois for health insurance, rest assured you’re getting much more. We’re a company founded on a tradition of affordable, quality health care for everyone, improving the present and investing in the future. Some things never change.
In addition to a wide variety of plans to choose from, we offer wellness programs, virtual visits and resources for both you and your employees.
