Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association

The Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association is a trade organization cooperative, which brings together independent, locally owned Blue Cross and Blue Shield plan providers nationwide. The "Blue Plans" represent a long-established tradition of outstanding customer service and quality healthcare.

Although the term 'Blue Cross Blue Shield' is well known throughout the country, it refers to the blanket governing body of several independent agencies, and not to one specific carrier.
