Premera Blue Cross

Peace of Mind. It comes with every Premera card.

Premera.com »

It’s a thin piece of plastic that sits in a billfold or a purse. But for more than a million members, it’s much more.

A Premera Blue Cross Card is a key that opens the door to a nationwide network of providers: You can count on thousands of doctors and caregivers to deliver quality care at a reasonable cost—thanks to the special rates that Premera Blue Cross negotiates on behalf of our members and the nationwide Blue Cross Blue Shield BlueCard® Network.

A Premera Blue Cross Card is a passport to good health: Yes, Premera pays claims quickly and fairly. But we also work hard to keep our members healthy—with a suite of award-winning preventive care programs and online tools.

A Premera Blue Cross Card is a promise: It’s the assurance that we’ll answer your questions, steward your account, promote your good health—and be there when you need us. That’s peace of mind. That’s Premera Blue Cross.

One point of contact.

With Premera, you can combine your health, dental and vision—and work with one customer service team for all your needs. Because simple is better.

Simple for members.

Data and experience shows us that members who take responsibility for their own health can help curb rising healthcare costs and premiums.

  • Find a physician or hospital and view their quality ratings
  • Manage your prescriptions
  • Help diagnose your illness or injury through a series of questions
  • Identify risk factors and evaluate how well you’re managing your pre-existing conditions through health assessments and calculator tools

Simple for employers.

As an employer, you’ll benefit by having the convenience and efficiency of a single point of contact, as well as a comprehensive, integrated view of your workforce. Combining all your healthcare needs is a boon to both members and benefits administrators, alike. The result improves and simplifies healthcare management, decision-making and bill payment for everyone involved. And a our unified claims platform means your claims are processed quickly and accurately, which is good news for everyone.
