Your muscles and joints power everything you do. Musculoskeletal pain, like knee, hip, or muscle issues, can disrupt daily life and drive up your health care costs.
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (Blue Cross NC) is helping members address their musculoskeletal health at all stages of treatment, from prevention to care to recovery.
Navigating your care
Taking care of the all the details of getting treatment can be tricky, especially when you're in pain. Care mangers with our Nurse Support Program can assess, coordinate, and assist with prior authorizations, helping members get the right care.
Getting exceptional care
When you need care, you want to know you're choosing a doctor you can trust. With specialty centers for spine surgeries and hip and knee replacements, our Blue Distinction program can give you confidence that your health is in good hands.
Making treatment more affordable
We work with a group of specialized doctors1 to offer joint replacement programs that bundle your care into one payment. The entire process, from pre-surgery appointments to physical therapy, is simplified to save you stress and money.
Finding treatment and services
Whether you're starting your care, considering surgery, or looking for physical therapy for pain relief, we have in-network doctors and specialists who can help. You can search for trusted health care professionals in your network. It's the easiest way to get the right care.
Caring for your mental health
Chronic pain does more than just impact your body. It can take a toll on your mental health, too. We offer a range of resources to help you take care of your mind while healing your body.
Preventing future injuries
You don’t have to wait until your joints hurt before taking steps toward stronger musculoskeletal health. We offer a variety of wellness programs, including Rally Engage, which offers online fitness coaching and lets you earn rewards by getting active and making healthy choices.
