Plans can be packaged with medical or dental coverage. We also offer separate vision discount programs.

Blue DentalSM

When your accounts add Blue Dental to their employee benefits plans, they’re demonstrating a commitment to whole-health care, because oral health affects overall health. Proper dental care, including regular cleanings, can limit inflammation, improve control of diabetes and may lower the risk of heart disease.

• An array of options – Blue Dental plans are available on a dual option basis, providing a broad selection of benefits and affordability.
• Easy administration – Single-source placement consolidates billing, eligibility and enrollment through a single account team.
• Comprehensive dental networks – Members choose from more than 4,400 access points in South Carolina and 312,000 nationally. Referrals aren’t required before a member sees a specialist.
• Plans for all contribution levels – Our plans are available on either a true group or voluntary basis.
• Integrated data capabilities – When you add Blue Dental to your BlueCross group health plan, we can connect data from medical and dental claims.

Members can use the Find a Dentist tool to help locate a dentist by name, facility, location and/or specialty.

Health and wellness

Health care doesn’t just happen at the doctor’s office. We offer innovative and engaging health and wellness programs your accounts can add to support their employees in making healthful choices in their daily lives – from digital platforms that make wellness fun to person-centered health coaching.
