BlueExtrasSM – more ways to save money

Through the BlueExtras discount program, all Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois (BCBSIL) members are eligible to save money on value-added health care products and services that help support healthy lifestyles. These discounts are for health care products and services not usually covered by your health benefits plan. There are no claims to file, no referrals and no pre-authorizations. And there is no additional fee to participate - it's just one more benefit of being a BCBSIL member!

If you are already a BCBSIL member, log on to Blue Access® for Members for details about your coverage and benefits, including specific BlueExtras discount amounts.
