The following online tools are available for your employees.

Provider Finder - You can determine which contracting physicians, hospitals and other health care providers are available to your employees in the areas they live, and whether they are accepting new patients.

Blue Access for Members - Your employees can use these online tools for confidential access to their health care claim information. Members can also confirm who is covered under their plan, compare hospital quality data and view extensive health and wellness information.

Personal Health Manager* - A package of online tools to help your employees better manage their health. Members can complete a health risk assessment; set up a personal health record; receive targeted wellness information and set up reminders about medical appointments and prescription refills. Learn more about the PHM through an interactive demonstration.

Also, with Ask A Nurse, members can ask registered nurses health-related questions online, request fitness and exercise advice with Ask A Trainer; ask registered dietitians for nutrition advice with Ask A Dietitian and receive help on managing stress, workplace conflicts and other issues with Ask A Life Coach.

Prescription drug information for members - The prescription drug formulary is a regularly updated list of preferred medications which includes all generic drugs and a select group of brand drugs. When members use formulary medications, they usually have lower out-of-pocket costs. Members can also use the Pharmacy Finder to locate a Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois contracting pharmacy.

Glossary - A list of health care terms.

*Not all plans offer the PHM. Plans without the PHM will access online health information under My Health for wellness guidance and to complete a Health Risk Assessment.
