Idaho Health Giant Blue Cross to Relocate HQ

Blue Cross of Idaho, a significant employer in Meridian, Idaho, has announced its intention to sell its approximately 34-acre headquarters campus. The health insurer is seeking a more 'right-sized' location within the Treasure Valley to better suit its evolving operational needs and its largely hybrid workforce.

The company cited the area's transformation over three decades and recent shifts in work culture as driving factors for the move. This strategic adjustment aims to enhance efficiency, enabling continued investment in affordable, high-quality care for its members. The move follows recent reports of layoffs due to a canceled state contract.

Blue Cross of Idaho, headquartered in Meridian since 1997, has begun working with a commercial real estate firm to manage the property assessment and find a buyer. While the exact size of the new facility is undetermined, the insurer emphasized that all past moves have focused on improved member service and responsible stewardship of premium dollars. This transition is expected to take several years.
