Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas offers certain services for members with special needs. These services are available at no cost and include Service Coordination support. We can help you find the right level of Service Coordination support, with the help of a service coordinator.
Service Coordination can help manage your health and mental care needs by working directly with you, your family, doctors and specialists to coordinate your care. A service coordinator is a member of our team dedicated to helping you find the right doctors, community support and services based on your medical, behavioral and cultural needs. Your service coordinator will also work with you to make a Care Plan that helps you reach your health and mental health goals.
When you choose BCBSTX for STAR, you have access to programs and classes that can help you live healthier.
To find out if our health care programs will help you take better care of yourself, reach out to the Service Coordination Department to learn more.

- Listen to your concerns
