Blue Shield encourages broker and consultant partners to begin moving groups out of the plans as early as 2022 renewal. Groups in the ten plans being withdrawn will automatically be mapped to a recommended plan during 2023 renewal, as membership cannot remain in a withdrawn plan. Groups will be allowed to choose any other marketed portfolio plan.
