Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois said Thursday that it will cut more than 90 jobs in its Chicago-based individual policy business as part of an ongoing companywide consolidation plan.

The company said 92 jobs at its Chicago facility would be affected by spring of 2011. However, the company said, 75  will be added to its Hallmark Services Corp. subsidiary in  Naperville and another 11 will be added to a facility in Abilene, Texas. 

The company said “the bulk of the employees” assigned to the individual policy business are  in Texas and Naperville.

“As part of our ongoing efforts to strategically assess and align our business with the needs of the marketplace, we have invested in a new approach to serving a growing individual market,” Illinois Blue Cross said in a statement. “As a result, a net of six positions will be eliminated.”

Earlier this month, Illinois Blue Cross parent Health Care Service Corp. announced plans to cut 62 jobs across the country. At that time, Health Care Service did not specify what jobs would be cut.
