Simple to understand. Simple to manage.

We believe in clear coverage that starts working for your employees from the first day. That’s why we’ve built simplicity into the plans themselves, as well as the tools you use to manage them.

  • More predictable costs from day one: A set copay for your team’s first five combined specialist and urgent care visits with First Plans, before the deductible applies.
  • Access to care from anywhere: Virtual visits allow your team to talk to a doctor from wherever they are.
  • A simpler start: Expanded CURV underwriting means fewer applications and a more straightforward setup.

Better care, closer to home

With Spira Care, your team gets primary care that feels personal. Beginning with January 2027 renewals, that access is growing, with all BlueSelect Plus members gaining access to Spira Care Centers. That means more time with doctors, better coordination and behavioral health support, with low or no additional cost on most services*, all of which can help boost day-to-day satisfaction and support better long-term health outcomes. The way primary care should work.
