Benefits included with your Wellmark health insurance plan
When you enroll in a health insurance plan, you most likely pay a monthly premium for your coverage. This premium helps pay for your medical care, but that’s not all it does. Most health insurance plans come with many additional benefits at no extra cost to you.
Many of these extras help you manage your health and well-being, track your health care expenses, find and receive quality care within your health plan network, get exclusive deals on health and fitness products, save on prescription drugs and much more.
If you have a Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield health plan, here are some of the additional benefits and services that may be included with your enrollment.
1.

Prescription drug tools
When it comes to continually rising drug prices, we’ve got your back with prescription drug tools through the Rx Savings Advisor. As long as prescription drug coverage is included with your Wellmark health insurance plan, you can sign up with CVS Caremark® through your myWellmark account.
Once you're signed up, you’ll be automatically notified when you’re taking a medication that has a savings opportunity of $10 or more. Savings opportunities can include switching from a 30- to 90-day supply, making a therapeutic substitution, or switching from retail pharmacy to mail order. The best part? It’s all automatic. You just present the savings opportunities to your provider and discuss the best option for you.
5.
Blue Distinction® Centers
You and your family deserve the best, especially when it comes to receiving specialized care like surgery or a transplant. That’s why we offer Blue Distinction Centers (BDCs) in 11 areas of specialty care that have a proven history of delivering exceptional care and results.
Check for in-network BDCs near you by logging in to myWellmark. There may also be BDC requirements specific to your plan, so remember to talk to your doctor, review your coverage manual and check your plan details.
6.
Doctor On Demand®
Wouldn’t it be great if you didn’t have to get out of bed when you felt sick? As long as Doctor On Demand is covered by your health insurance benefits, you can use it to see a board-certified doctor from anywhere using your smartphone, tablet or computer. It only takes a few minutes to be seen and treated for the most common conditions.
In some cases, you can even get prescription medication if needed or set up a mental health visit with a therapist or psychiatrist. If you're not sure if you have benefits for Doctor On Demand, log in to myWellmark and review telehealth services within your coverage list.
7.
Pregnancy support program
If you’re expecting, you’re probably getting lots of advice from health care providers, family and friends. For trusted guidance you can count on, turn to Wellmark’s Pregnancy Support Program. The program offers helpful online resources for every stage of pregnancy and beyond, including prenatal and postpartum self-assessments. These assessments can help identify high-risk pregnancies and provide an opportunity to self-refer into the program for additional support. If needed, the program can also connect you with a case manager for personalized guidance.

Blue Distinction Centers (BDC) met overall quality measures for patient safety and outcomes, developed with input from the medical community. A Local Blue Plan may require additional criteria for providers located in its own service area; for details, contact your Local Blue Plan. Blue Distinction Centers+ (BDC+) also met cost measures that address consumers’ need for affordable healthcare. Each provider’s cost of care is evaluated using data from its Local Blue Plan.

National criteria for BDC and BDC+ are displayed on www.bcbs.com. Individual outcomes may vary. For details on a provider’s in-network status or your own policy’s coverage, contact your Local Blue Plan and ask your provider before making an appointment.
