Introducing Bright Health, a brand new carrier in Illinois offering a carefully curated network of doctors, clinics and hospitals to provide the best healthcare at the best possible price.
About Bright Health
Bright Health began offering consumer-focused health insurance plans in Minnesota in 2017, after raising over $80M in venture capital. They are currently in 13 states, with plans to expand to more, driven by deals with integrated health systems in metropolitan areas.
Bright Health’s model is anchored in exclusive Care Partnerships with leading health systems in each state, using three technology components: an intuitive user interface, a data analytics component, and a platform that works with electronic medical records and telemedicine companies. These allow Bright Health to suppress costs while improving patient outcomes and care coordination.
What makes Bright Health stand out?
No referrals, just open access. No Primary Care Physician selection required.
Bright Health’s Network is an HMO-PPO hybrid. Like an HMO, you are restricted to Bright Health’s Care Partners:
- NorthShore University Health System
- DuPage Medical Group
- AMITA Health
- Edward-Elmhurst Health
- Sinai Health System
But like a PPO, you do not need referrals to see specialists. (Contact us to find out if your specialist is part of the Bright Health Care Network!)
Coverage for a fraction of the cost.
Bright Health offers individual and family plans with lower premiums, including several options with a $0 Deductible, and HSA-compatible plans.
Pediatric Dental & Vision on all plans
All plans include pediatric dental and vision coverage for members under 19.
Mindfulness and Mental Health
Sometimes, you just need someone to talk to. Bright Health offers plans with low cost-sharing for mental health services, including behavioral health treatments.
Enhanced Telehealth
See your doctor anytime, anywhere with enhanced telehealth access – all from the comfort of your own home.
If you are tired of having to get referrals and want open access for a fraction of the cost, Bright Health is for you.
Save money on premiums while retaining access to the best hospital systems in Illinois.
Individual & family open enrollment period ends on December 15.
