Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX) wants to encourage children and adolescents to visit their primary care provider (PCP) regularly. That’s why we offer incentive gift cards to BCBSTX STAR Kids members who qualify.
Incentive Gift Card for Texas Health Steps Checkups for Infants
BCBSTX offers a $75 gift card to STAR Kids members ages birth through 15 months who complete their Texas Health Steps checkups.
To get the gift card, members must be active on the plan at the time of the checkup, and checkups must be completed by an in-network PCP (Primary Care Provider). Gift card awards are based on claims your doctor will send to BCBSTX after the checkup is completed. Once your doctor sends BCBSTX the claim, it could take up to two months for you to get the gift card.
To receive the gift card, the member/parent/guardian must register through the Healthmine portal. After your provider submits a claim to BCBSTX, you will get a letter in the mail that will tell you how to register with Healthmine where you can choose your gift card award.

Adolescents should see their PCP or OB/GYN once a year. STAR Kids members ages 11 to 21 who get their yearly Texas Health Steps checkup are eligible to get a $25 gift card.
