Preventive Guidelines
Blue Cross of Idaho is committed to improving the overall health of our state and local communities. To assist our members in achieving optimum health, we include preventive benefits in all of our individual and fully-insured group products that include outpatient benefits. Most of our self-insured groups also cover preventive benefits. We believe that preventive benefits are important to our members' overall health and well-being and encourage our members to take advantage of these benefits.
