Blue Shield Temporary Plan: Option One

Blue Shield Option One is a temporary health plan designed to cover you for a limited period of time. Option One can cover you for as few as 30 days, and as long as 185 days. It's affordable, high-quality health coverage that starts the day after you apply.

Instead of having to pay monthly premiums, you'll take care of your whole plan upfront ý with one affordable payment.

What Kind Of Coverage Will I Have?

The Option One plan is a managed care PPO health plan. You'll save the most money when you choose your doctors and hospitals from Blue Shield's California network. And the network is one of the largest in the state, with more than 45,000 healthcare providers.

You'll have coverage for these services:

• Inpatient and outpatient services
• Most hospital services
• X-rays
• Laboratory exams
• Prescription drugs

Choose Your Deductible

You'll be able to choose the deductible that fits your budget the best. Option One offers a $500, $1,000, $1,500, $2,000 or $3,000 deductible.

Choosing a lower deductible doesn't always mean a less expensive plan. The higher deductible you choose, the lower the cost of your plan will be. But don't choose a deductible that's too high, either. It's usually best to choose the highest deductible you can realistically afford.
