Benefits coverage

View the Insurance Summary and Insurance Benefits Guide to learn about your health coverage and additional benefits. 

Prescriptions

Prescription drugs are a major benefit to you and a major part of the cost of our self-insured health plan. Prescription drugs are covered only at network pharmacies. After your initial enrollment, you will receive two identification cards from Express Scripts. If you have not created an account, you’ll be prompted to create one the first time you access your pharmacy benefits through My Health Toolkit. You can also access your digital identification card through the Express Scripts mobile app.

Dental

Taking care of your teeth isn't just about having a nice smile. Recent research has found several links between oral health and overall health. So, good oral hygiene should be a family affair. Learn more about dental benefits or find a dentist to schedule your next appointment. 

Vision

After your initial enrollment, you will receive two identification cards from EyeMed^®. You can also access your digital identification card through the EyeMed mobile app. If you need to order a replacement card, visit www.EyeMed.com or call EyeMed at 877.735.9314.

Coordination of benefits

All State Health Plan and dental benefits are subject to coordination of benefits, a process which is used to make sure a person covered by more than one insurance plan will not be reimbursed more than once for the same expenses. As part of coordination of benefits process, BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina needs information about possible other health or dental coverage, including Medicare, to process your claims correctly. To update your insurance information, log in to your My Health Toolkit account or complete the other coverage questionnaire. 

Telehealth

Blue CareOnDemand^SM is a faster, easier way to connect with health care professionals. You can use this service to connect with U.S. board-certified physicians and other health care professionals 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, from your computer or smartphone. Learn more about how to register and how to download the mobile app. 

The Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) Health Virtual Care is an easy way to be treated for common conditions such as allergies, pinkeye, sinus infections, skin rashes, sore throat, urinary tract infections and the flu. It is available 24/7, but it is not meant to replace your primary care provider. This service is available at no cost to all State Health Plan members, including Medicare primary members.
