2025 Mission Report
Becoming The Health Plan Members Love
Blue Shield of California’s Mission Report is an annual summary of our efforts to support our mission: to ensure all Californians have access to high-quality health care at an affordable price. In 2025, we advocated for healthcare reforms that helped lower costs, expanded access through innovations like the Digital Health Record and more affordable biosimilar prescription drugs, and collaborated with Civica Rx and the State of California to offer insulin at $11 per pen — all while serving nearly 6 million members.
