In response to severe weather in Illinois, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts (Blue Cross) is expediting access to care for members who may be affected.
Blue Cross has more than 10,500 members living in areas under states of emergency. The company is working to ensure those members can access health services and medications quickly and in locations convenient to them.
Effective July 11, 2023, and for the duration of the emergency declaration, Blue Cross is allowing:
Early refills of any prescription medication
Affected members to use Well Connection, the health plan’s dedicated telehealth platform, to access medical and mental health services free of cost, with no copayments or deductible with the code BCBSMA162.
