CTPF has eliminated the UHC Non-Medicare PPO and will offer a single Non-Medicare BCBS PPO plan in 2025. Members who were enrolled in the UHC plan, were automatically enrolled in the new BCBS Non-Medicare PPO effective January 1, 2025, unless they made a different election during Open Enrollment. Most doctors and all hospitals currently covered by UHC accept the BCBS PPO.
All new enrollees should have received a new BCBS health insurance card in mid-December. Your BCBS health insurance card (sample pictured here) is necessary to access care. Please make sure you bring your card to your upcoming medical appointments and update your pharmacy provider with the new information.
Digital ID Cards Available
Members can download a digital ID card for use on mobile devices. Download the BCBSIL App from Google Play, the App Store, or by texting BCBSIL to 33633. You can also view your information online through Blue Access for Members, visit bcbsil.com/member from your mobile phone.
