Shop for healthcare and earn a share of the savings with SmartShopper
Costs for medical procedures are unpredictable. In fact, the same test or procedure can vary by hundreds or even thousands of dollars depending on where it’s performed.
Blue KC’s SmartShopper* program allows your employees to research options for where to receive care, compare costs, and make a more informed decision before scheduling an appointment. Then, SmartShopper passes on a percentage of the savings via a reward check to the employee.
Ultimately, when they choose more cost-effective facilities for care, it saves your company and health plan money while helping lower the cost of health care in our area.
How SmartShopper works
SmartShopper pays cash rewards for choosing SmartShopper-eligible providers and procedures. Reward amounts vary depending on procedures.
To access SmartShopper, employees can visit their member portal at BlueKC.com then search for a procedure or test. SmartShopper will display eligible providers, costs, and reward amounts. The program leverages Blue KC’s local and national network of providers and facilities.
