Value Added Programs

We offer a comprehensive package of health and wellness programs designed to mitigate health care costs and encourage members to be more proactive about their health.

Overcoming Insomnia
Insomnia is a sleep disorder that affects millions of adults in the United States. That's why we developed Overcoming Insomnia, a five-week online program that can help individuals adopt healthier sleep habits. Members who have completed the program have reported a significant reduction or elimination of sleep medication in as little as three weeks.

Overcoming Insomnia is based on cognitive-behavioral therapy, a treatment that the National Institutes of Health recommends before medication. It has been found to be an effective treatment for chronic insomnia in the short term—and may be more effective in the long term.

My Blue CommunitySM
My Blue Community is a health-focused social networking experience that brings your employees together with other Blue Cross Blue Shield members from across the country in one convenient location. Whether they're looking for fitness and nutrition tips, seeking support on different diseases and conditions, or exploring personal health, My Blue Community is the online destination for social health and wellness.
