Software Updates

Illustration Software is a desktop application that provides producers an instant rate quoting and plan comparison tool for selling Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Illinois - Individual & Family products for Under 65 age groups. We emphasize the importance of running the latest version to ensure that you are using the correct forms and price quotes. Running older versions of the Illustration Software may cause inconvenience and inaccurate quoting.

LATEST UPDATE: Effective December 2009, Illustration Software version 6.0 is the latest version of the software and this version should be used to quote member policies with an effective date of January 1st 2010 or later.

Install both the Illustration Software and Microsoft Access Run-Time on your pc using the following links:

Note: Since we needed to upgrade the program from Access 2000 to Access 2007, everyone will need to use the Full Install and the Microsoft Access 2007: Access Runtime (unless they have Access 2007).
