BCBS PPO+ Health Plan

The Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) PPO+ Plan allows members many options for where to seek care — at MIT Health, across New England, and nationwide — all without provider referrals. 

Copayments and Deductibles

At MIT Health, plan members have a $0 copay for office visits and a $10 copay for specialist office visits. For other providers in the BCBS PPO network, members have a $15 copay for office visits and a $30 copay for specialist office visits.

In-network deductibles of $150 individual, $300 individual + spouse/domestic partner, individual + child(ren), and family apply to higher-cost services such as in-patient hospitalization, outpatient surgery, ER, and imaging. There will be modest changes to prescription drug copays.
