[Ohio] Elimination of the Suitcase Logo on BCBS Member ID Cards
Anthem BCBS·OH·Provider Bulletin
We identified it
May 3, 2026
Summary
Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) is removing the suitcase logo from member ID cards and replacing it with product identifiers (e.g., PPO). This is a cosmetic change only with no impact on member benefits, network access, or billing processes. The rollout occurs over multiple years, so providers will see both old and new card formats during the transition.
Action Required
No action required. This is an informational update regarding member ID card appearance only. Continue using standard eligibility verification processes regardless of card format. Billing team should be aware that both card designs (with and without suitcase logo) are valid and indicate the same coverage and benefits.
