Care Partners

As a Medicare Advantage member we want you to receive the best care possible. To make sure you have access to needed care BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina has partnered with the following organizations that you may be eligible to receive based on your individual health needs. 

All of these activities are included in your Medicare Advantage membership and you can feel comfortable working with these care partners. 

Home Testing Kit

You may receive a home testing kit in the mail from LetsGetChecked for colorectal cancer screening, diabetes A1C or kidney testing. Please complete the test at home and promptly return it by mail at no cost to you. 

Quality Nurse

A quality nurse may call you after you leave the hospital to discuss your medications and share helpful information about available services for your individual health needs. 

Periodically you may receive communication from a BlueCross representative offering reminders for preventive health services or to ask for your feedback on a satisfaction survey. The purpose of this outreach is to make sure you have a great health experience and ensure you have access to all needed care. 

In-Home Health Assessments

A representative from Signify Health or Doctors Care may call you to schedule a no-cost visit in the comfort of your own home. The clinician will check your blood pressure, review medications and evaluate your overall health status. The results will be shared with you and your primary care provider. 

Signify Health and Doctors Care are independent companies that administers in-home health evaluations on behalf of BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina.
