Care First Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Virginia serves areas of Northern Virginia that are east of Route 123.  This area includes the cities of Alexandria, Arlington, Springfield, Vienna, and parts of Fairfax.  One of the best plans from CareFirst is their new Healthy Blue Triple Option plan, featuring preventative care and primary care office visits at no charge, maternity benefits, a single deductible for the whole family, and no annual limit on prescription drugs.   

HealthyBlue Triple Option allows you access to over 26,000 physicians and 60 hospitals in the BlueChoice network, and allows you to refer yourself to specialists instead of requiring your primary care doctor to make the referral.  If you refer yourself, you pay higher deductibles, co-payments, and maximum out of pocket expenses.  Option 1 requires primary care physician referrals, Option 2 does not.  Option 3 describes out of network benefits (see brochure for out of network benefit details and information on balance billing).  Download the product brochure here.
