Building a heart smart workplace with coverage that cares

Your business is only as strong as the people who help run it every day. As a small business, you’ve worked hard to build a team you trust and we’re here to help you take care of them. When it comes to heart health, Excellus BlueCross BlueShield (BCBS) believes in total support – before, during and after a cardiac event.

Help your team stay heart healthy

The best way to reduce the impact of cardiac events on your business is to prevent them in the first place. Our coverage starts before the first sign of heart problems.

• Heart health screenings: Annual routine wellness exams and blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose checks help detect early warning signs.
• Professional guidance: Our on-staff Care Management Team coordinates with one another – and our provider network – to deliver the right level of support and guidance to meet each employee’s needs. Registered Nurses, Registered Dietitians, Licensed Social Workers, Pharmacists, Physical Therapists and Medical Directors are here in each of your employees corner to help guide them through their health journey.
• Wellness Tools: From activity trackers to mobile apps that offer daily tips and reminders, we make it easy to stay the course of a healthy lifestyle.
  • Wellframe® App: Text a care manager, get a personalized health plan, set up medication reminders and connect with a dietitian.
  • ThriveWell^SM: Connect a fitness tracker, complete online health checks, or use journeys digital coaching to make simple health changes.

We work with you to promote a culture of wellness because investing in prevention today means fewer emergencies tomorrow.

When the Unexpected Happens: Cardiac Event Coverage

Even with the best preventive care, emergencies can still occur. In the event of a cardiac incident like a heart attack or stroke, your employees are covered with:

• Emergency Care & Hospitalization: Immediate access to ER care, cardiac specialists, and inpatient services.
• Prescription Medications: Comprehensive pharmacy benefits to ensure employees can access the heart medications they need.

No matter the severity of the event, your team won’t face it alone—and neither will you.

Supporting the Healing Journey

Recovery from a cardiac event doesn’t stop at hospital discharge—and neither does our support. Our post-event care includes virtual and in person options for:

• Cardiac Rehabilitation Programs: Outpatient programs to help employees regain strength, manage symptoms, and reduce future risk.
• Mental Health Support: Emotional recovery is just as important. We offer counseling and therapy options to help with anxiety, depression, or trauma post-event.

We stay with your employees every step of the way, helping them return to their lives—and their jobs—with confidence.
