Never miss a payment with Blue Connect

Tips for managing your costs and care
Use in-network providers
You can save money by going to in-network doctors, labs, and hospitals under contract with your Blue Cross NC plan for discounted rates.
Search for in-network providers using our Find Care tool.
Consider your deductible
Plans with higher deductibles typically have lower monthly premiums but may offer less coverage than plans with lower deductibles and higher monthly premiums.
Before choosing a plan, consider your health and any health conditions you may have.
Understand your pharmacy and prescription benefits
Your plan may come with pharmacy and prescription drug benefits. Review your Benefits Booklet in Blue Connect to find out what medications are covered under your plan and to learn about drug costs.
Save with an HSA
When you contribute pre-tax earnings to a health savings account (HSA) through your employer or contribute to an individual HSA to claim tax deductions, you can use those funds for health care purchases, essentially making those purchases tax-free. HSAs are available with some plans.
Billing and payment FAQ
If you get health coverage through an employer:
- Contact your group administrator or HR department to make changes to your account.

If you buy your own health coverage:
- Log in to Blue Connect℠ to update your contact information when your address, cell phone number, or email address changes.
- Or contact Customer Service for help by calling the number on the back of your member ID card.
