Two of the state's leading private insurers - Blue Cross and Blue Shield of
Oklahoma and CommunityCare Managed Healthcare Plans of Oklahoma - have joined forces to offer a new health
plan option for Oklahomans eligible for Medicare.
Medicare Advantage plans like Medicare Blue PPO take the place of traditional Medicare Part A (hospital
coverage), Part B (physician coverage) and Medicare supplemental insurance. Medicare Blue PPO
features a preferred provider organization (PPO) network including hospitals,
doctors and other health care providers in the 21-county service area. Members
will receive the highest level of benefits when they seek care within the Medicare Blue PPO network.
Medicare Blue PPO is underwritten by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Oklahoma. Most of the plan's
administrative functions, including customer service, claims and medical management services, are
performed by CommunityCare.
