Blue Shield of California: Optum Care Remains In Blue Shield Networks

Optum Care Medical Groups remain in Blue Shield networks

Blue Shield of California and Optum Care medical groups in Southern California have agreed to a multiyear provider network contract. Blue Shield is pleased to share this update, and believe the agreements reached are equitable and sustainably affordable for our customers. Most importantly, the new contracts ensure uninterrupted coverage for their members.

Any members who were unable to select an Optum Care PCP during enrollment while these providers were unavailable in Find a Doctor (FAD), can update their PCP by calling the Customer Care number on their Blue Shield member ID card, or online using Find a Doctor.

Blue Shield appreciates your patience while they worked to secure the best possible outcome for their members. Their goal is always to provide access to quality health care that is sustainably affordable.
