Blue High Performance Network (BlueHPN^SM)

Our Blue High Performance Network^SM (BlueHPN^SM) is designed to deliver greater value for your clients and their employees. We select providers for BlueHPN who are focused on delivering quality care, and the network provides an average of more than 10% savings¹ compared to the PPO.

BlueHPN is available in more markets nationwide than our competitors, with portable access across over 65+ major markets. When inside an HPN service area, members have access to care from any BlueHPN provider with no primary care physician (PCP) selection or referrals needed. When traveling outside of an HPN service area, members have access to emergent and urgent care through a network of Blue Cross and Blue Shield providers.

Providers in BlueHPN are measured on a consistent set of quality metrics across four key domains central to better overall care delivery.

1. Appropriateness of Care to reduce harm and waste
2. Best Practice Adherence to support guideline-based treatment
3. Health Management to promote preventive care and chronic condition management
4. Outcomes to measure effective care delivery

Providers are measured across these domains through a set of eight national and eight local metrics from industry-respected sources² – creating consistency across markets while addressing key health care issues in local markets.

With BlueHPN, employees have in-network only³ access to quality care through a network that offers an average of more than 10% in additional savings as compared to our already industry-leading PPO. BlueHPN is a great way to tailor benefit offerings to maintain access to high quality providers while being conscious on cost objectives.
