How will this affect employers who currently are covered by UniCare?
A. Employers who are currently covered by UniCare will be offered BCBS products to replace current UniCare medical benefits products. BCBS has a large provider network that includes thousands of physicians and major hospital systems. As a result, in most cases, UniCare members who switch to BCBS will not have to change doctors. A. Employers domiciled in states other than Illinois and Texas will continue to have coverage with UniCare. Furthermore, UniCare coverage will continue for MHealth, Medicaid and Senior products, the Federal Employees Program (FEP) and the Group Insurance Commission (GIC) of Massachusetts. A. BCBS is attempting to offer the same or similar benefits to Unicare customers; however, there may be some differences in benefits. Please review the BCBS offering to determine whether there are any differences between plans.
