Life Can Be Hard. Finding Support Shouldn’t Be.

Mental illnesses are so prevalent that more than half of all Americans will be diagnosed with at least one condition during their life. Yet, many people never receive treatment. If you need help and are more comfortable with digital tools, Learn to Live can help. Available to Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas members, this no-cost service starts with an online assessment to help pinpoint the right programs for you, such as:

  • Depression
  • Stress, anxiety, and worry
  • Social anxiety
  • Insomnia
  • Substance abuse

Don’t let stigma prevent you from getting services for your overall health and well-being. Learn to Live may recommend online lessons, computer-based therapy, or virtual coaching, depending on the online assessment results.

Watch this quick video to learn more.

How to Access Learn to Live

Learn to Live is available through MyEvive, or get started here. Like in-person therapy, your individual results, program progress, and messages with your coach will not be shared with BMC.

Earn Cash with Member Rewards

Members of a BCBSTX health plan can earn rewards by shopping for health care. Shop and compare costs for over 1,600 health care procedures online using the BCBSTX Provider Finder® tool. Just like shopping for a new car, doing a little comparison shopping can really pay off.

The price of health care services can differ by hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars based on where you get care. Higher cost doesn’t always mean better quality. By choosing a cost-effective option for your care, you can save money on your out-of-pocket costs and may earn a cash Member Reward.

How Do Member Rewards Work?

It’s easy. There aren’t any forms to fill out. Just follow these steps when a doctor suggests a medical procedure or service:

  1. Log in to Blue Access for Members at BCBSTX.com
  2. Look for “Find Care.” Then you can look for doctors and hospitals. Do your search to compare your choices and select a reward-eligible location.
  3. Have the procedure or service at the reward-eligible location you chose.

Once the claim is paid, you’ll receive a check* in the mail.

* The Internal Revenue Service Code considers gift cards as taxable income.

Bundle and Save on Insurance

You’ve probably seen the ads on television about bundling your insurance to save on your premium. Your BMC benefits can also help you save on your home, auto or renter’s insurance.

Like the average savings Farmers GroupSelect customers reported, you could save money by bundling policies. In fact, others have saved $751* on average. Get a quote here or call 844-297-3774 and mention discount code BAP to see how much you could save.

*Savings based on the average nationwide annual savings in 2021 reported by new customers who called the Farmers GroupSelectâ„  employee and affinity member call center switched their insurance to a Farmers® branded insurance policy issued through the Farmers GroupSelect employee or affinity member program, and realized savings.

Inflation has hit everyone where it hurts—in the wallet.

And almost one-third don’t know how to ensure their retirement savings keep up.

Higher prices can eat into savings, but you may be able to keep your plan on track. Read more.
