Blue Shield (non-profit organization)

Blue Shield is a nonprofit health insurance organization that provides coverage to help individuals and families access medical services. Unlike for-profit insurers, its primary goal is to promote health and well-being rather than generate profit. It negotiates with doctors, hospitals, and other healthcare providers to offer quality care at affordable rates. Blue Shield often offers plans that include preventive care, hospitalization, and prescription drugs, aiming to improve health outcomes while managing costs. As a nonprofit, any surplus revenue is reinvested into programs and services that benefit members and communities.
