Applies to Individual & Family, Medicare
September 21, 2022
The Continue with Blue (CWB) discount was created to retain commercial and retail memberships as members age-in to Medicare. As a 7% monthly premium discount, the CWB discount was designed to ensure that former Blue commercial and retail members can stay Blue for life with Medicare Supplement.
To qualify:
- Members cannot have a gap greater than 12 months from the date when their commercial/retail membership ended and when their new Medicare Supplement policy starts.
- Commercial memberships must be from Blue Cross and Blue Shield Plans in Illinois, Montana, New Mexico, Oklahoma or Texas – not other Blue plans. Memberships are only verifiable from our five states.
- Continue with Blue is currently not offered in Montana. However, members from a Montana commercial plan can qualify if they live in (and are applying in) one of our other four states.
- Current members can apply for the discount by calling Member Services and providing their commercial /retail member ID.
