Take advantage of our services that take the load off you and your human resources staff. That means you can spend more time focused on what really matters—running your business.


Our education and enrollment services help increase employee participation, without creating more work for you. You choose how to:

  • Educate employees—in group or one-on-one meetings

Members become STRONGER THAN EVER with our Care Management programs working for them. We offer Care Management programs with health coaching, education and hands-on support to help members with chronic conditions or serious illnesses. With a team of clinical professionals, including doctors, nurses, dietitians, pharmacists and social workers, we share personalized information to encourage members on their journey to optimal health. If your employees have diabetes, heart disease, other chronic conditions, traumatic injuries or serious illnesses, these programs help guide them through the health care system and get the services they need in a timely manner. Members do not pay anything to work with a health coach.

Many preventive and wellness services are covered at 100% when your employees go to a provider in their network. These covered services include annual exams, colonoscopies, mammograms and more. See www.bcbsla.com/preventive for a full list of services that are covered.

What is telehealth?

Telehealth, also called virtual care, is an easy and convenient way to be treated for minor illnesses and also access behavioral health services online. All your employees need is a computer, tablet or smartphone with internet access and a telehealth account. Blue Cross members can call the customer service number on their ID card to learn about their telehealth benefits.


What are your options?

Members with telehealth coverage have two options for getting virtual care from anywhere:

  1. BlueCare, Blue Cross’ telehealth app, or
  2. A network physician’s telehealth service

BlueCare: Get Care from Anywhere!

Online medical and behavioral health visits are available to members and any dependents who are covered on their plans. All BlueCare providers are U.S. trained and board-certified.


Medical Visits
  • BlueCare costs less than the ER and urgent care centers.
  • BlueCare lets you see doctors online, 24/7, to treat non-emergency, common conditions like fever, colds and cough, stomach bugs or pink eye.


Behavioral Health Visits
  • Online appointments for behavioral health needs are available with BlueCare. Simply log in and schedule a visit with a psychology or psychiatry provider.
  • BlueCare behavioral health appointments can be a good service for members who may be feeling depression, grief, stress, life transitions, anxiety, couples’ counseling and more.


Drugs may be prescribed if needed. Prescription availability is defined by physician judgment; certain types of medication may not be prescribed. Before your BlueCare visit, you’ll see what it will cost. This depends on your plan type and benefits.


You can use any major credit card, and even HSA or FSA cards, to pay for BlueCare. Your card will not be charged until your visit is over.
