Blue Shield of California Supports Members During Wildfire Evacuations

Blue Shield of California is dedicated to ensuring the safety and care of its members amidst ongoing wildfire threats in California. Recent mandatory evacuations have been ordered in Los Angeles County due to the Palisades, Hurst, Eaton, and Sunset Fires. The health plan emphasizes the availability of resources and support for its members during these emergencies.

Members are encouraged to access various services such as care management, virtual care, and mental health support. Additionally, Blue Shield is allowing immediate refills for prescription medications for members affected by evacuation orders, even if they are not yet due for a refill. This initiative aims to simplify access to necessary medications during a crisis.

The organization also provides guidance on how members can obtain their member ID cards if they are lost and stresses that helping members access needed care is their top priority during these challenging times. For further assistance, members can reach out through designated contact methods.
