What We Do
At Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi, we work daily to help Mississippians find their personal answers to this question through health and wellness partnerships with quality healthcare providers, employer groups and community leaders across the state. Our goal is to help each person along their journey to a healthier life… their Blue Wellness Journey.
Our health and wellness benefits are designed to support our members in understanding their health and in receiving the care they need at the right time and place, beginning with establishing a healthy relationship with a Primary Care Network Provider through an annual wellness visit at no out-of-pocket cost.
We partner with our Network Providers to ensure the highest quality, evidence-based care is provided in each care setting from primary care to specialty care through our Primary Care Home, Blue Distinction+ Centers of Excellence and Maternity Care Quality initiatives.
We partner with employer groups to make every workplace a healthy workplace by providing tools and information to help employees take ownership of their health and understand and make the most of their benefits, all while working to manage health and healthcare costs.
We partner with community leaders and organizations to make healthy living resources available to all Mississippians through the work of the Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi Foundation, our support of the arts and culture and our Team Blue volunteers.
These partnerships and our dedicated team of employees are making a difference every day, in our communities and in the lives of each person we reach.
So, what does it mean to be healthy? The answer is about you, your health, your life… and all its possibilities.
Live healthy. Live Blue.
