The "be smoke-free" Program provides a comprehensive 90-day tobacco-cessation program that includes telephone counseling, visits with a "be smoke-free" Network Provider and medication or nicotine replacement therapy. The program is provided at no cost -- and if you are successful in being tobacco-free for 12 months, and your household is tobacco-free, your Blue Care premium will be reduced.
Our website can provide you additional information about the "be smoke-free" Program that is available to all Blue Care members who use tobacco.

A prescription to eat healthy, exercise and be tobacco-free is the first step -- but sometimes you need a choice of prescription drugs.
A healthy diet, exercise and being tobacco-free are all part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle and reducing your risk of chronic health conditions such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer. And, these lifestyle habits can even prevent the need for prescription medications. Sometimes, though, your Network Provider may decide that there is a need for a prescription drug. When that happens, we want to make sure you get the most for your money.
Our be RxSmart. it's your choice. prescription drug benefit gives you the information you need to better understand your medication options and know more about generic drugs. The four-category benefit includes four different levels of copay amounts, and encourages you to use generic drugs. Generics contain the same medicines as brand-name drugs, so why pay more?
View a listing of the prescription drugs covered in the four categories and detailed information about each drug.

Sometimes you may just need some good advice.
Part of taking ownership of your health is taking an active role in managing your healthcare costs. Knowing when to get medical care and what level of care you need is important to how much you pay for healthcare.
Sometimes you're faced with health situations and you need answers quickly. It may be a lingering headache, unusual aches and pains or a cold that just won't go away. Perhaps your child has a fever or has had an accident. Do you go to your Network Provider or the emergency room? The Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi Nurse Advice Line provides confidential, non-emergency medical advice 24 hours a day, seven days a week. With one call to a toll-free number, you've got access to registered nurses standing by to answer your questions, as well as a library of pre-recorded medical information.

The most important health partner you can have.
In addition to helping you be healthy, Blue Care provides you benefits for Network Provider office, inpatient and outpatient services -- and you can choose the level of coverage you need. Calendar year medical deductible options allow you to make the most of your healthcare budget and you can also choose between a copay or
coinsurance option -- and there is an optional maternity benefit.
With Blue Care you get access to the most important health partner you can have -- a Blue Cross and Blue Shield Network Provider. Network Providers will file claims for you, ensure the medical necessity of services and bill you only for your deductible, coinsurance or copay for covered services. Most importantly, they can help you be healthier!
We offer the largest and most comprehensive network of healthcare providers in Mississippi and beyond, so you're never far from someone who is committed to your health. Blue Care gives you network benefits whenever and wherever you travel. Our website offers a complete listing of our Network Providers.
