CHATTANOOGA - BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee earned two platinum honors for the company's Web site at the recent eHealthcare Leadership Awards. The honors were for the categories of best site design and best rich media among managed care organizations.
"The e-business and marketing teams worked closely together to develop a Web site that would appeal to our members and network physicians while meeting their health care and business needs," said Trevin Bernarding, manager of e-business development for BlueCross. "These awards are a reflection of that effort."
The best site design was awarded for BlueCross' attractive and engaging design, as well as its usability and strong branding. The depth of the Web site's video content and the homepage virtual tour helped to earn the best rich media honor.
