NEW BENEFIT
HealthSelectShoppERS
Beginning September 1, 2020, you will be able to participate in HealthSelectShoppERS, a new program that allows HealthSelectSM participants to save money and earn TexFlex FSA rewards when shopping for certain medical services and procedures.
With HealthSelectShoppERS, you and your eligible dependents can shop for medical care, compare costs and earn up to $500 in FSA rewards each plan year.
Who can participate in the HealthSelectShoppERS program?
Participants with active employee benefits and their family members who are enrolled HealthSelect of Texas, HealthSelectSM Out-of-State, and Consumer Directed HealthSelect may be eligible for rewards. HealthSelectShoppERS is not available to retirees and Medicare Primary plan participants.
Get started today and begin earning rewards.
1. SHOP
When your doctor recommends a procedure, use Provider Finder to find out if it is eligible for a reward and where it can be performed.
Online: Go to HealthSelectofTexas.com, log in to Blue Access for Members and click on “Find a Doctor or Hospital” to compare costs. Or call a BCBSTX Personal Health Assistant to help you compare costs.
Whether you use Provider Finder or call a BCBSTX Personal Health Assistant, if you select a lower-cost, in-network care option, you can earn rewards!
2. GO
Have your procedure at the HealthSelectShoppERS reward-eligible location you chose. You can earn rewards on services like ultrasounds and mammograms, CT scans and MRIs, and procedures like knee, shoulder and hip surgery.
3. EARN
Once your claim for your procedure or service is processed by BCBSTX—usually within 30 days— your incentive is deposited into your TexFlex health care FSA to be used on eligible health care expenses. If you don’t already have a TexFlex FSA, one will be opened for you.
If you are enrolled in Consumer Directed HealthSelect, any reward you earn will be deposited into a Limited-Purpose FSA . Your incentive can only be used for eligible vision and dental expenses.
