Notice of Privacy Practices

Privacy is important to all of us. We at Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi work hard to protect our members' privacy and comply with all state and federal privacy laws.

To help you understand our commitment, we make our Notices of Privacy Practices available on our website. Because of various laws, there are different privacy practices for different types of coverage.

You need Adobe Reader, which is already on most computers, to view or print the Notices of Privacy Practices, which are PDF documents. If you need it, you can download Adobe Reader here.
