Renew With Blue

​​You likely received some communication about your plan’s renewal and why you’re eligible. If so, please refer to the communication you received for more information. 

​Individual & Family 

​If you’ve gone through a life change, like moving, getting married or changing your job, you may be able to renew or change your health insurance plan. These life changes qualify you for the Special Enrollment Period. During Special Enrollment, you normally have 60 days from your life event date to pick a new plan and finish enrolling. You can also enroll without having gone through a life change during the Open Enrollment Period. 

Medicare (65+) 

​If you’re about to turn 65 and want to stay with BCBSIL, you may be able to choose Medicare coverage. This is called the Initial Enrollment Period. If you’re already enrolled in Medicare, you can renew your coverage by continuing to pay for your current plan or pick new coverage options during the Annual Enrollment Period.

Medicaid 

Once annually, you may have to complete a renewal process to keep your benefits. This process is called redetermination. The due date for Medicaid redetermination is specific to you and your coverage. Learn the steps you need to take to renew your Medicaid coverage and how to find your due date.

Find Illinois doctors or hospitals that are close to you and covered by your plan with our Provider Finder^® tool. If you’re eligible to renew your BCBSIL plan but your doctor’s not part of your plan’s network, consider looking for new options that have your doctor in-network to help keep your costs low.
