Member Rewards
Did you know that prices for the same quality medical services can differ by thousands of dollars within the same region and health plan network? Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois (BCBSIL) provides Member Rewards, a program administered by Sapphire Digital that offers cash rewards when a lower-cost, quality option is selected.
- Compare it to where you park your car—the $30 lot or
the $15 one just a few blocks away. - Member Rewards allows you to shop for health care services in a similar way, and as the examples in the chart show, you can save money depending on the option you select.
- Best of all, shopping with Member Rewards could help lower your out-of-pocket costs and help get you a cash reward.

A Benefits Value Advisor Can:
- Help compare costs at different providers near you

- Help with pre-certification
- Tell you about online educational tools
