About Consortium Health Plans
Consortium Health Plans was formed in 1994 to help its founding Blue Cross Blue Shield Plans position the Blue System as the carrier of choice for national accounts.
Now a national coalition of 21 leading BCBS Plans, Consortium provides a clear and unified voice, as well as effective central coordination, for the Blue System among national accounts and the consultants and brokers who serve them.
Consortium does not replace the working relationships that consultants and brokers have with individual Plans. Rather, Consortium harnesses the significant strengths of the Blue Plans to give these producers a single point of contact to:
- deliver a consistent Blue message to the market
- identify and report on Blue Plan capabilities
- provide consistent annual RFI responses for all Blue Plans
- quickly answer diverse questions about national account capabilities of the BCBS System
- troubleshoot communications issues and help resolve any producer concerns about what BCBS can do for their clients
- connect them with the right individuals within the BCBS System who can help them advocate for their clients
- provide written materials to support the Blue value proposition
