The Blue Select Plus network and is a more limited network of providers and hospitals. Because it is a more
exclusive network of providers, BCBS is able to provide better discounts when claims are incurred and therefore,
your monthly premium is lower and the District’s contribution to your HSA is higher.
It is imperative that you review the providers and hospitals in the Blue Select Plus network before selecting
to enroll in the Blue Select Plus QHDHP.
While the plan works just like the current QHDHP, if you elect the Blue
Select Plus QHDHP and use a provider or hospital
outside
the Blue Select Plus network,
your out-of-pocket
maximum will increase to $13,000 individual or $26,000 family.
The Blue Select Plus network of hospitals is limited to the following hospitals. Any other hospital used in a non-
emergent situation will be considered out-of-network and subject to the out-of-pocket maximums previously
mentioned.
