During this unprecedented time, Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) companies are providing leadership and partnering locally to support the health and well-being of communities across the country as they deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. Collectively, BCBS companies nationwide have committed more than $7 billion to date to address COVID-19, which includes financial support for members, assistance to medical professionals and practices, premium relief and support for communities. 

This community support is critical in addressing food insecurities, serving at-risk populations and building innovative partnerships that provide protective gear for our heroes and volunteers on the front lines. This work highlights and accelerates the historic commitment of the BCBS companies to strengthen communities, including a focus on expanding access to provider services and supporting new COVID-19 testing sites across the country.
