An Association of Independent Blue Cross and Blue Shield Plans

The Blue Cross and Blue Shield companies are dedicated to improving the quality and safety of care, ensuring that all Americans have healthcare insurance, and reining in the cost of healthcare for everyone.

With a history spanning more than 80 years, Blue Cross and Blue Shield continues to be the world’s most recognized name in the healthcare community, and for the one in three Americans who carry Blue Cross and Blue Shield cards, the Blue companies symbolize trust and security.

The Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association is a national federation of 39 independent, community based, and locally operated Blue Cross and Blue Shield companies that provide local healthcare coverage solutions for nearly 100 million Americans.
