What’s new in 2022
Our Blue Solutions® portfolio helps meet the unique needs of small employers with affordable, innovative health plan designs, well-being programs, and value-added services. We’re pleased to share the following enhancements for 2022:
Achieve Well-being rewards and
reimbursement enhancements
Last year, we added rewards to our Achieve Well-being program to give your employees more incentives to make healthy choices. For 2022, we’ve updated some of the activities, giving subscribers more options to engage with their benefits and receive their $150 e-gift card reward.
We also added Noom to our network of approved weight management programs that members can get reimbursed through our Healthy LifestylesSM program. Noom is a psychology-based weight management program that empowers individuals to better understand the science of choice.
Financial well-being enhancements
We are continuing our ongoing commitment to finding new benefits that address our members’ whole health, including their financial health.
Medical bills can be a significant source of stress. AblePay Health (AblePay), a new third-party payment solution for Independence Blue Cross (Independence) members, works to improve the overall health care experience by offering medical cost savings and flexible, 0% interest payment plan options.
The College Tuition Benefit® is now available to all employees, regardless of whether or not the employee has Independence coverage.
In addition, GradFin now offers the Employer Match program, which allows employers to contribute toward an employee’s student loans without a tax impact through the CARES Act.

Better integration of primary and behavioral health care
We are giving providers access to Quartet, a platform that facilitates integration and collaboration between primary care doctors and behavioral health specialists to help members manage their physical and mental well-being. Primary care doctors can use the platform to connect members to in-network behavioral health specialists based on their specific needs.
