Which Plan is Right for Me?
There is a lot to consider when choosing a new health plan, and your decision can have a major impact on both your health and finances. To make picking the right plan easier, take a look at this helpful flyer.
Why Blue Option?
Our members get access numerous exclusive services, including greater access to care, added convenience and helpful savings.
Check out some of the perks of being a Blue Option member.
When traveling outside of South Carolina, you can locate participating doctors and hospitals nationwide. Remember, when you use an in-network doctor or hospital through BlueCard, you receive the highest level of benefits.
Always be sure to talk to your provider (including facility, lab, etc.) to ensure they are participating in our network or the BlueCard network prior to having services rendered.
All Blue Option plans include routine pediatric and adult vision coverage through an independent company, the Physicians Eyecare Network (PEN).
PEN provides vision services through the Physicians Eyecare Plan (PEP) on behalf of BlueChoice HealthPlan. This benefit includes coverage for routine eye exams and materials.
Blue Option members have access to top retail providers, including Walmart® Vision Center, Pearle Vision®, Sam’s Club® Optical, LensCrafters®, Target Optical®, JCPenney® Optical, Eyeglass World® and America’s Best Contacts & Eyeglasses®.

All plans that have a copayment provide you with the convenience of an all-inclusive office visit copayment. What does that mean?
If you visit a participating in-network provider, you will pay one copayment for all covered services performed in the doctor’s office for the same date when billed by the physician. Best of all, there are no dollar maximums!
Here are a few examples of what is covered under the all-inclusive office visit copayment:
- Office charges, including surgical services or treatment of an illness, accident or injury
- Allergy and tetanus shots
- Annual physicals
- Injections (immunizations)
- Diagnostic lab and X-ray services (Other charges could apply if the provider sends the claim to a hospital for processing.)
Preventive Dental Care
Start smiling, because our plans include a reimbursement for preventive care.
All plans include a dental allowance per benefit period for exams and cleanings for adults and children by any South Carolina-licensed dentist.
You get access to:
- Preventive dental, one exam every six months, up to $50.
- Preventive dental, one cleaning every six months, up to $50.
Members can send a completed dental reimbursement form and the paid receipt to us for reimbursement of the allowed amount.
