What is Blue365?

Blue365^® is a program sponsored by participating local Blue Companies that helps you stay healthier, for less. Since 2007, Blue365 has offered discounts for members to save on products and services for a well balanced lifestyle. These “Blue365 Deals” (which are different than the healthcare benefits that you have with your local Blue Company) can help you maintain a healthy lifestyle, while spending less at some of your favorite Blue365 Vendors nationwide.

Can anyone participate in Blue365?

Blue365 is currently available to members of many participating Blue Companies, and we’re working to roll out the savings to even more Blue Companies’ members. Additionally, Blue365 is available to all members of the Federal Employee Program Service Benefit Plan across the USA.

If your Blue Company is currently not participating, you can leave us your contact information and we will notify you when your Blue Company joins Blue365.

Is Blue365 another type of health insurance coverage?
