All About Independence Blue Cross Blue Shield of Pennsylvania Plan Options

Independence Blue Cross of Pennsylvania offers a range of excellent and affordable plan choices for individuals and families, small businesses and large groups, students, and Medicare supplemental products for seniors.

Independence Blue Cross (IBX) has been serving the health insurance needs of southeastern Pennsylvania and Philadelphia for over 75 years. IBX is an independent licensee of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association.

IBX’s Affordable Care Act (ACA) health insurance plans are available both on and off the state exchange with access to an extensive network of doctors, hospitals and health care providers not only in Pennsylvania but nationwide.

Independence Blue Cross offers 13 unique HMO and PPO individual and family health insurance coverage options that all provide the ACA–qualified 10 essential benefits.  Select coverage with pediatric, dental, and vision options and prescription drug benefits (varying by plan).  Health savings account (HSA) plans are also available.

Choose from four levels of coverage: 

Independence BCBS Bronze

Bronze plans work best for those looking to keep premiums low, while not expecting to incur frequent medical charges toward the higher deductible. Lower premiums result in higher out-of-pocket costs, making these plans attractive for healthy adults or those who seek infrequent health care services.

Personal Choice PPO Bronze 25% after deductible in network; 50% after deductible out of network 40% no deductible in network; 50% after deductible out of network 50% after deductible in network; 50% after deductible out of network

Independence BCBS Silver

When qualifying for ACA cost-sharing subsidies, you’re required to choose a silver plan to benefit from these discounts. Standard premium subsidies can also be applied to silver plans, which typically offer an economical balance between your monthly premiums and cost-sharing. Silver plans are designed to work with cost-sharing subsidies under the ACA.

Independence BCBS Catastrophic

Catastrophic plans work well for those who qualify for an exemption due to extreme financial hardship. Young adults under the age of 30 can select a catastrophic plan to satisfy ACA requirements. Catastrophic plans have lower monthly premiums than gold plans, but can result in higher deductibles with lower premiums. For this reason, they are a popular choice among young, healthy adults.
