In today’s day and age, health insurance is more important than ever – especially when you become a parent. We all want the very best for our families, ensuring they are healthy and happy and have access to the medical care they need whether it’s a routine appointment or something more serious.
This is why health insurance is so important. It helps you have a plan in place to help cover expenses in case something happens, while also providing routine wellness exams for optimal health at no additional cost.
Yet there is this common misconception that health insurance is out of reach due to the cost. BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina has changed this with BlueEssentials ℠, an affordable, easy to use health insurance plan. Here are five reasons you should take advantage of the BlueEssentials℠ program:
1. Strength, Community, Recognition
Chances are if you mention the name BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina, people know who you are talking about. They are the largest provider network in SC, which gives you peace of mind and sense of security. They are experienced in their field and have a proven track record for being a leader in health care insurance. You can rest at ease knowing they are handling your family with skill, expertise, and care.
2. BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina is IN our Community
There’s something comforting knowing a company is local. That the employees who work there are also our neighbors. They understand our lifestyle, can relate to what it’s like to live in our area, and can easily help you navigate where you need to go because they live here too. BlueCross doesn’t leave you after you sign-up, they support the community and provide face-to-face service all year long at Retail Centers. They aren’t the unknown voice on the other end of the phone, it’s Jessica who works in the local store on Bower Parkway who you can always count on for friendly service and going the extra mile to answer your questions.
3. BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina will get you the Lowest Cost Health Plan
Seriously. With plans as low as $0 per month, you don’t have to worry about if you can afford health insurance. You CAN afford health insurance. And as a bonus, they make the process easy for you, including getting any financial assistance you may qualify for. They break all the information down and make it simple for ANYONE to understand, something that is truly important when thinking about your health care coverage. That way when you walk into the doctor’s office, you’re clear on what your plan includes.
Your premium, which may be as low as $0 per month, is based on the amount of subsidy (i.e., financial assistance toward your monthly premium) you’re eligible for. If your annual income is below the amounts shown here, you will likely qualify for a subsidy.
