leaving the online experience with a printout of personalized options that have been tailored to their needs.

During a pre-launch demonstration of AskBlue, participating Blue Cross and Blue Shield companies found overwhelming support for the program. A majority of consumers -- 80 percent -- who visited AskBlue, stayed on and obtained personalized healthcare coverage information. Consumers said the tool met their expectations for ease of access, knowledgeable solutions and actionable results.

Currently 18 Blue Cross and Blue Shield companies offer AskBlue, with plans underway to expand the program in additional markets. To learn more about AskBlue, visit www.BCBS.com.

AskBlue provides a general overview of certain insurance products, based on information that the user provides during this session. This overview is not an application for insurance. It is not an offer to provide or guarantee insurance coverage, or legal or financial advice. To find out about rates and terms for these and other insurance products, how to apply for coverage, and for much more information, contact your local Blue company. Each Blue company is responsible for the information that it provides.

The Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association is a national federation of 39 independent, community-based and locally operated Blue Cross and Blue Shield companies that collectively provide healthcare coverage for more than 100 million members -- one-in-three Americans. For more information on the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association and its member companies, please visit www.BCBS.com.

AskBlue was developed in collaboration with Jellyvision Lab, Inc., a provider of interactive conversation applications in the U.S.
