Affordable, Easy Health Insurance: 5 Reasons You’ll Love BlueEssentials ℠

0
I was asked by Carusele to participate in the #BlueEssentials campaign, sponsored by BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina. Although I have been compensated, all opinions are my own.

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.

4. BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina is about a Healthy Lifestyle Beyond the Doctor’s Office

Everyone knows that the first step to good health is taking care of yourself. Diet and exercise play a huge role in this. But sometimes it can feel overwhelming knowing where to start or thinking about adding another cost into your budget. BlueCross promotes a healthy lifestyle by offering various value adds on, things like fitness trackers, weight management systems, and gym memberships through Blue365®.

5. New REWARDS Program Helps YOU Earn Money!

Yes, you heard that right! The BlueEssentials ℠ program puts money back in your pocket where it belongs! Members earn up to $150 a year for completing activities that improve their health.

Tiffany traded in back-to-back business meetings and PowerPoint presentations, for sippy cups and play dates – leaving her corporate job behind to become a stay at home mom to her 16-month-old toddler. To say life is different is an understatement, and she now has a new found love and respect for the “hardest” (and best!) job she’s ever had. A native South Carolinian, Tiffany is best described as kind-hearted and friendly, with a quick sense of humor. When she’s not toting her little one around town to the latest kid friendly activity, you can find her enjoying a latte at Drip, catching up on the latest celebrity gossip magazines, or watching old reruns of Beverly Hills 90210 from the early 90′s. She received her Masters Degree in Integrated Communications from the University of South Carolina in 2007, and enjoys reading, writing and all things "mom."
