BlueCross BlueShield of Wisconsin
Bronze Health Plans
BlueCross BlueShield of Wisconsin Bronze plans are ideal for individuals looking for low-cost plans. Bronze plans have higher out of pocket costs, but two plans (the 106 and 104) also have HSA options for those looking for tax savings. These plans are ideal for those who do not have regular medications or visit the doctor outside of their yearly check-up (included as preventative care on all plans.)
Recommended Plan
Blue Advantage Plus Bronze 104
This HSA Eligible plan has a lower deductible and OOP max, meaning you can save for the expenses you do incur and still have a higher level of pretection in the event of unexpected health costs. The Blue Advantage Plus plans also offer some out of network benefits even though this is still technically an HMO, so if your doctor isn't in any individual plan network for 2017, this is by far your best bet.

BCBSWI Dental Plans
With the BCBSWI dental plan, you'll get dental coverage on day one with no deductible deductible required for check-ups, cleanings and other preventive services. Most important, costs are typically reduced when you receive care from any of our participating network dentists. However, you also have the option to see any dentist not in the network, but your out-of-pocket costs may be higher.
Some highlights of Dental Indemnity USA coverage:
- Coverage can be used to provide dental benefits to an individual, spouse, children or any combination of dependents.
- A $50 deductible, based on fee schedule allowances, applies for dental procedures or services received by a covered individual during each benefit year.
- Maximum deductible amount of $150 for family coverage.
- Deductibles do not apply to oral exams, cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants and X-rays.
- $1,000 orthodontia benefit for children under 19 years old
For more information on coverage and benefits, view the Dental Outline of Coverage 
You must enroll in a BCBSWI health plan in order to enroll in the dental plan (you have up to 31 days from the effective date of your policy to enroll). Shop for a plan now.
