BCBSM launches new website to help people understand health care reform requirements, impacts

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan today launched a new website, www.bcbsm.com/healthreform, designed to help everyone in Michigan understand how national health care reform will affect them. As Michigan's leading health plan, BCBSM is committed to serving as a trusted source for information on reform and all issues related to health across the state.  

"The Michigan Blues are committed to helping people understand reform requirements and impacts," said Daniel J. Loepp, BCBSM president and CEO. "As we work to implement reform requirements over the coming months and years, this website will be a source of timely information -- and a way for people to get their questions answered."

Individuals, seniors, business owners and health care professionals all have questions - the website looks to clarify, educate and inform. Features include recent news about reform implementation, an interactive timeline, a place to submit questions and get answers and much more.  

Changing our health care system as called for by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is just beginning. As the health care landscape as we know it changes, the Blues will continue to lead Michigan to a healthier future by working in our local communities and by helping our members become healthier. BCBSM will also continue working with Michigan businesses to develop health care solutions that fit their needs and budgets. And, we will continue to strengthen our partnerships with doctors and hospitals to improve quality and lower the cost of health care delivered in Michigan.
