Coverage for abortion. Some health plans offer two choices: a plan that pays for abortions, and one that doesn't. If you choose a Blue Shield-EPO, Blue Shield-HMO, CalOptima Kids or Kern Family Health Care plan and you want the plan that does not include elective abortions, add "N" to the end of the Plan Code.
