Member perks, from costs to classes
Membership in a health plan from Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island brings you many perks beyond insurance:
Lower prices for healthcare
We work with doctors and other healthcare providers to ensure you receive high-quality care at lower costs than you'd pay without your BCBSRI plan. When you receive a "Healthcare Services Summary" from us in the mail, it'll show how much you saved.
Save on prescriptions
MedsYourWay® helps you find the lowest available price of applicable discount cards for your eligible medications—no coupons or other cards needed. And all covered prescription purchases count toward your deductible (if applicable) and out-of-pocket maximum—that doesn’t happen with other discount drug card programs.* Just show your member ID card.
Compare costs for medical services
Higher costs don’t always mean higher quality. You could save hundreds or even thousands of dollars depending on where you receive care. Compare costs before your next visit or procedure. It's one of the many tools available at myBCBSRI.
Member discounts on wellness and lifestyle brands
Blue365® offers discounts for all BCBSRI members. Browse dozens of wellness and lifestyle deals and save money on your favorite products.
Making fitness fun
Our wellness program, powered by Virgin Pulse®, makes fitness contagious. Earn points and get motivated with healthy team challenges, customized nutrition tools, and trackers for activity, weight, sleep, and mood. Log in to learn more and get started.
Free exercise classes
At Your Blue StoreSM, you can take fitness classes such as yoga and Core N More. Check the schedules.
In-person meetings at Your Blue Store
Whether you need help with your coverage or with staying healthy, stop by one of our convenient Your Blue StoreSM locations and let’s chat. Find a store near you.
Weekend customer service
Questions can pop up anytime. That’s why we offer customer service 7 days a week. We’re happy to talk with you Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, 8:00 a.m. to noon. Call us at (401) 459-5000 or 1-800-639-2227.
Doctors Online
Doctors Online is perfect for when your personal doctor is unavailable or when going into the office is not an option. See a doctor—365 days a year, 7 days a week—on your phone. Doctors are board-certified professionals, and the online experience—via mobile, tablet, or desktop—is designed to be private and secure. You also can schedule appointments with licensed therapists. Search “BCBSRI Drs. Online” from the Apple or Google app store**, or visit drs-online.com.
Extra support when you need it
If you have a chronic health condition like asthma, diabetes, or hypertension, the BCBSRI Care Management team can help. Our clinical team will work together to get you the care you need, when you need it. There’s no added cost for these services and no referrals are needed.
Online diabetes support
Teladoc Health can help you manage your diabetes and/or hypertension. Teladoc Health does not replace physician-directed medical care and you must meet certain health criteria to participate.*** You get:
- Unlimited diabetes testing supplies
- Blood glucose meter, blood pressure monitor, and/or smart scale, if appropriate, all at no added cost
