We’re launching a new digital tool to help improve our members’ behavioral health

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan is committed to providing its customers and members with tools to help them deal with daily life stressors.

On Jan. 1, 2021, Blue Cross and Blue Care Network are launching Livongo for Behavioral Health by myStrength, a website and digital application product. It will be available for all fully insured groups with Blue Cross and BCN commercial coverage, as well as select self-funded groups.

With more than 1,600 activities, myStrength covers over 30 topics, including depression, anxiety, insomnia, substance use disorders, chronic pain, opioid use disorder, medication-assisted treatment, stress, mindfulness, balancing emotions, pregnancy and early parenting, nicotine use and trauma.

Based on their plans, members will have access to the following:

  • Self-guided tools and videos for all Blue Cross and BCN fully insured groups
  • Self-guided tools, videos and asynchronous engagement coaching for select Blue Cross and  BCN self-funded groups.

Members can call the Customer Service number on the back of their member ID cards to determine whether they have access to the myStrength solution.

As a reminder, earlier this year in response to COVID-19, we worked with Livongo to offer a limited release of Livongo’s myStrength COVID-19 module to all our members at no cost through Dec. 31, 2020. After Dec. 31, members will no longer have access to this custom module.

To learn more about the myStrength solution, go to mystrength.com.**
