Blue Access for Employers

Point of View Series

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois has created a series of Point of View statements that express our position on key health care issues. These statements describe our core beliefs and approach on high priority topics, and provide a brief overview of the marketplace.

Topics include: 
  • Customer Ownership  
    Unlike a stockholder-owned company, a customer-owned company enjoys perfectly aligned interests.
  • Medical Care Management 
    Effective medical care management can help increase employee productivity, drive more appropriate utilization of health care resources and have a positive impact on health care costs.
  • Metabolic Syndrome 
    Metabolic syndrome (MetS) places people at high risk for developing diabetes, cardiovascular disease and other debilitating illnesses. It also jeopardizes the health and productivity of employees.
  • Wellness 
    The wellness movement presents a strategic opportunity for employers to improve employee health and productivity, while also addressing rising health care costs.
