Natural Disaster Assistance

We know that recovering from a natural disaster is never easy. For our Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX) members living or traveling in these impacted areas, your BCBSTX Customer Service Representatives are ready to help you:

  • Find a doctor or hospital
  • Refill a prescription if you have Prime Therapeutics®*
  • Coordinate or transition your care
  • Get a BCBSTX member ID card

Mental health is just as important as physical health

Care from a mental health expert can help you manage your emotions and deal with traumatic events.

For information on your health care benefits, call the number on your member ID card. We’re here to help.

You can also call the national Disaster Distress Helpline at 1-800-985-5990 for help.

Important Phone Numbers

If you don't have your member ID card, you can either:

  • Print a temporary card on Blue Access for Members℠, or
