What  is Blue Shield? 

Blue Shield of California is a not-for-profit health plan insurer providing high-quality health care plans at reasonable rates. They offer individual, family, and self-employed plans as well as health savings accounts (HSA), dental and life insurance. Whatever your needs, Blue Shield can help you get the coverage you need.

In California, Blue Shield is separate insurance company from Blue Cross although they share the same parent company known in the 49 other states as Anthem Insurance Co. Having two separate companies creates competition which ultimately drives down the price. Blue Shield sponsors the Blue Shield of California Foundation which is committed to making health care available, safe, and effective for those buying California health insurance online. Based in San Francisco, California, the organization provides benefits to 3.4 million people with a network of over 65,000 physicians throughout the state.
