How To Enroll In a Health Plan

If you don't get health care coverage through your job or a government program, you have a few ways to get a Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois (BCBSIL) health plan.

During the Special Enrollment Period (SEP), you can sign up for a plan with BCBSIL when you go through a qualifying life event. Learn more about SEP.

  1. Online
    Use our website to compare BCBSIL health plans. Apply now.
  2. Agent
    A licensed BCBSIL authorized agent can answer questions and help you with your 2022 BCBSIL health care coverage. Request an agent, if you don’t have one.
  3. Phone
    You can call 866-514-8044 to speak with a BCBSIL licensed sales representative.
