Blue Shield
Medical coverage provider
Blue Shield is a nonprofit health insurance organization, typically appearing as part of Blue Cross Blue Shield, a federation of independent insurers across the United States.
Blue Shield plans traditionally covered physician and outpatient services, while Blue Cross covered hospital stays—a distinction now largely merged.
