Helping You Take Care of Your Health

If you are living with ongoing health concerns, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois (BCBSIL) offers one-on-one nurse support through the Primary Nurse Team. Personal support is available to you at no additional cost.

BCBSIL Nurses Are Here for You

BCBSIL has a team of nurses ready to help you and your caregivers when you:

  • Go into the hospital to seek treatment
  • Get discharged from the hospital and need support
  • Have any questions about your care
  • Need assistance with any other health care concerns

Our nurses are trained to work together with you, your doctor and your caregivers to find the best ways to help you manage your health care and stay healthy.

Help Is Just a Call Away

If you have an ongoing health condition, a BCBSIL nurse may reach out to you by phone. It is up to you whether you want to work with a nurse. If you choose to do so, you will have access to knowledge, tools and self-care techniques to help you make a real difference in your health.

Your nurse can work with you to schedule regular calls to discuss your health and make adjustments in your daily routine to help you live healthier and better manage your condition. You can also call your nurse when you need advice.

Assistance from a BCBSIL nurse is available to you at no additional cost.
