Member Rewards by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas
Did you know that prices for the same quality medical services could differ by thousands of dollars within the same region and health plan network? We are excited to introduce Member Rewards—a new program, administered by Vitals*, that offers cash rewards when a lower-cost, quality provider is selected from several possibilities. Make your benefits program work for you. This service will be available beginning 01/01/19. You can call Customer Service, and a representative can help you walk through the process. You can also visit via Blue Access for Members at www.bcbstx.com by clicking on Doctors and Hospitals and Shop for Procedures. Once you have completed these steps, all you have to do is wait for your check in the mail if you select one of the rewarding options.
- Member Rewards allows you to shop for your healthcare services in a similar way, and as the following examples show, the differences can be significant.
- Best of all—shopping with Member Rewards could minimize your out-of-pocket costs and help give you a cash reward.
A Blue Cross Blue Shield Representative will be visiting campuses throughout the month of October to explain these new benefit enhancements.
