HMO Nested Network Offers Savings

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois’ HMO nested network options can potentially decrease an employers overall health care costs by close to 10%. Employers that currently have at least 150 employees enrolled in HMO Illinois can now choose to offer the BlueAdvantage HMO network alongside their current benefit program or can offer different benefit programs for each network. Choose either one or both of our HMO network options:

  • BlueAdvantage HMO Network--with nearly 150 medical group/Individual Practice Association sites, this network offers a broad provider network at a 9% savings. Currently, more than 70 percent of HMO Illinois members, on average already utilize a BlueAdvantage HMO provider.

  • HMO Illinois Network--still the largest HMO provider network in the state.

Remember, both networks also:

  • offer many provider choices, including the state's largest pharmacy network

  • feature the same physician credentialing process and member service resources

  • have earned an Excellent Accreditation from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (its highest accreditation level)
