You’re healthy. You’re active. And you work to maintain your family’s good health. So we think you deserve a reward—MyActiveRewards—a new, exclusive, free healthy lifestyle club only for BlueOptions members who choose to participate.

Each quarter, members can earn a reward for health care decisions and activities that demonstrate their healthy lifestyle—like getting an annual physical exam or participating in a competitive sports event like a 5K run.

Club members will receive a quarterly newsletter filled with recipes, fitness tips and leading-edge health information for keeping the entire family active and healthy. What’s more, interactive health tools, self-assessment tests and health information from Staywell are available anytime through the MyActiveRewards website accessed through Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida’s online self-service center, MyBlueService^SM.

You must be 18 years of age to join. Kick-off is scheduled for early 2006. Look for details on how to join coming to your mailbox soon. Just complete and return the enrollment form. You also can register at our member website, www.bcbsfl.com.

NetworkBlue keeps expanding
You now have more network choices as we continue to add physicians, hospitals and other providers to NetworkBlue, including independent diagnostic testing facilities and urgent care, ambulatory surgery and mental health centers. Nine hospitals in Tampa and five in Jacksonville joined NetworkBlue during the fourth quarter of this year. Effective Nov. 15, 2005, air, water and ground ambulance services also began joining the network. Check our online provider directory for the most up-to-date information on network providers.

Your out-of-pocket expenses are lower when you choose a network provider for covered services. The claim is filed for you; payment is made directly to the provider. What’s more, you are protected from being billed for any difference between the provider’s charge and our allowed amount.

If you choose non-network providers, you must file the claim. You receive payment and are responsible for any difference between the provider’s charge and the allowed amount.
