Blue Cross and Us

Our Partnership. An integrated member experience where you're not caught in the middle.

HUGHP is a University-owned asset, managed by HUHS staff.

HUGHP will help:

  • You understand if a particular service is covered
  • With a bill that you received
  • Guide you on what your cost-share could be (copayment, deductible?)
  • You locate network providers, including primary care physicians, therapists, medical specialists, and urgent care centers

HUGHP also manages its own website, marketing materials, and communications.
