History Blue Shield of California was founded in 1939 as California Physicians' Service (CPS). CPS was among a handful of companies that helped to found the National Association of Blue Shield Plans, which later became the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association.

Blue Shield of California was also the first to offer a cross-border HMO, Access Baja, which provides coverage for individuals in both the United States and Baja California, Mexico [2] [1].
