New collaboration to expand access to health care, lower costs and enhance the consumer experience with innovative digital (app) and physical (in-store) services to improve health outcomes for individuals, families, and communities throughout California.
As announced in September, Blue Shield of California and Walgreens have begun a collaborative pilot program that will center on Walgreens Health Corner services - a personalized experience for Blue Shield commercial, self-funded members to improve their health outcomes.
The program has launched with 8 Northern and Southern California locations and will expand to others as the program matures.
Eligible members who live within the service area (within 20 miles of the pilot locations) will be invited to participate via email and mailer. The Walgreens Health Corner app is available on both the App Store and Google Play.
The healthcare services provided will focus on condition management and whole-person care. At full launch, Blue Shield members in eligible plans will have access to wellness checks, including blood pressure screenings, administration of A1C blood tests, and mammography care coordination. They will also be able to pick up take-home health screening tests with in-person assistance from Health Advisors for instruction on how to use and complete the kits, as well as support to locate new health and wellness products. Health advisors will also help members set up their digital health applications on their mobile devices.
With Health Corner services, your clients can focus on getting healthy and staying healthy.
