Blue Choice – what's new with defined contribution

Blue Choice offers stability, flexibility and now – even more choices.

As an employer you’re looking to control health care spending while giving your employees more choices to get the coverage that’s best for them. Blue Choice, a defined contribution plan from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota, offers the stability and flexibility you’re looking for. And we’ve made it even better.

We’ve collaborated with the Allina Health, the Twin Cities region’s most comprehensive health care system, to bring you the new Allina Health Network starting in 2013.*
