Mission
Our commitment to Michigan is what differentiates us from other health insurance companies doing business here. That mission has never changed. Nearly 70 years ago, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan started with a purpose to provide people with the security of knowing they have health care when they need it. Today, that nonprofit mission is the same and we’re accomplishing it in many ways, including:
- Offering access to health care coverage for everyone, regardless of circumstances
- Never dropping your coverage for health reasons
- Partnering with the state to cover more than 32,000 children through MIChild
- Providing financial support to 30 free clinics statewide
- Contributing more money than any other company to provide Michigan with better health and health care
- Advocating and educating through Alliance for Advancing Nonprofit Health Care
