Getting a Medicare plan can be a great benefit of turning 65. But moving to Medicare can seem complicated. Perhaps you’ve become used to your group insurance and feel unsure about enrolling in a different plan that’s not through your employer.
Well, good news: Moving to a Blue Cross Medicare plan doesn’t mean you’ll have to leaf through confusing statements and thick binders to find the information you’ll need.
Blue Cross’ Medicare members can register for their secure online member account, or go to the app store to download our app, to get instant, anytime access to information about their coverage, costs and more. With icons and charts, the experience is just as user-friendly as the group Blue Cross coverage you’re used to.
To get started with a Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan member account on your computer, type our web address, www.bcbsm.com/medicare, into your web browser and click LOGIN on the upper right-hand side of the screen. If you haven’t registered yet, click Register Now.
To download the app, visit the app store on your smartphone or tablet and search for “Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan” or simply “BCBSM.” Then download and install the app and register or put in your user information. (The apps on Google Play and Apple’s App Store are both entitled “BCBSM.”)
