Health and Wellness

We are committed to getting you the health care you need. That's why we offer the following educational information and wellness programs that can help you lead a healthier life. Also, see what programs BCCHP has to offer on the Care Coordination page.

Preventive Care

Keeping up with health screenings can be difficult, that’s why we are here to help. We’ve compiled details on when to get screenings and immunizations. See more details in our wellness guidelines and health guides in the chart below. Plus, you can receive incentives for completing some of these screenings. For more details, see the Value-Added Benefits page. Be sure to talk to your doctor about any health screenings you might need.

BCCHP has also made it easier to see your provider by offering Telehealth options. This way, you can get the care you need – even virtually. See details about your Telehealth coverage here.

Did you know that where you live or work can have an impact on your health? BCCHP has compiled a list of social determinants (SDoH) that can impact your health. And more importantly, how you can stay healthy even if you are affected! See our list here.

If you are pregnant or are considering pregnancy, ask your health care provider if you need to be screened for Zika. Zika virus can cause abnormalities in a developing baby. It is a virus that is spread by infected mosquitoes. If you or your partner live in or have traveled to areas at risk for Zika transmission, please notify your provider.

To learn even more about screenings, incentives, telehealth, or SDoH call Member Services at 1-877-860-2837 (TTY/TDD: 711).
