I have to say that I became a member just a few months ago and their website is extremely user friendly. Its very convenient to navigate and find anything you need. Honestly, its even more convenient than calling the customer service. And it just got better.
In late may, BCBSFL released an app for the iphone and android phone that allows for members and nonmembers to access their account info and general info without hassle. There, you are able to do just about anything that you need. My personal favorite feature is finding out the price that I'd be paying for prescription drugs from different pharmacies in my area. This way I can choose the most cost efficient price. Other tools and information are available such as real-time updates on weather forecasts combined with weather-related health alerts such as pollen, air quality and UV levels along with tips for managing asthma and allergy symptoms.
Its amazing how such a small addition (an app) is enhancing the everyday use of the website and provides so much convenience and benefit to its users. And because of this change, I'll consider getting this app for my phone.

Hi Kirill,
ReplyDeleteI just downloaded this app on my iPhone and I think it's great! Thanks for letting me know about it. I like how I can search for different prices for prescriptions in the area around me. This saves me time and money, and it's so easy to use. I also like how it lets you search for different doctors and hospitals in the area and maps it out for you. It's a very convenient app and it's absolutely free. Great find and kudos to BCBS for this awesome app.
