Important 2026 Insurance Update
Effective January 1, 2026, UC Care transitioned from Anthem Blue Cross to Blue Shield of California as its medical plan administrator.
Your 2026 Chiropractic Benefits
Under the published 2026 UC Care PPO benefits, chiropractic care is covered through the Blue Shield PPO Tier 2 benefit, subject to plan requirements.
In-Network Patient Share
30%
Coinsurance
For covered chiropractic services through Blue Shield PPO Tier 2, after the applicable deductible has been met.
2026 Plan Administrator
Blue Shield
California PPO
Blue Shield of California now administers UC Care medical benefits, replacing Anthem Blue Cross in 2026.
Important: Chiropractic and acupuncture share the same 24-visit annual maximum. Visits already used for either service may reduce the remaining benefit. Coverage also depends on provider network status, medical necessity, and individual plan eligibility.
What You Should Know
- UC Care chiropractic coverage is provided through the Blue Shield PPO Tier 2 benefit, rather than the UC Select Tier 1 office visit copay.
- Your annual deductible may apply before the 30% coinsurance benefit begins.
- Your actual coverage depends on your individual benefits, remaining visits, and the services provided.
- Our office can review your benefits and discuss your estimated out-of-pocket responsibility before treatment.
