Happy holidays to you and your families. Your POB directors have been meeting and working with the Health Services System staff over the past few months on the transition from United Healthcare to Blue Shield CA. We will continue in our watchdog role with any problems or issues you may have in transitioning over to the new plan, effective Jan. 1, 2025. We urge all our retired members to get out ahead of moving your plan over, and don’t wait until the first of the year. BSC has set up a hotline to answer any of your questions and smooth the trantion: 800/370-8852. We have put together a series of documents on our website to guide you through the changeover.
