Mobile App: Payment on the Go
BCBSM’s mobile app puts bill payment at your fingertips, allowing you to manage your payments from anywhere, at any time.

While online and mobile payments offer unparalleled convenience, BCBSM recognizes that some members may prefer more traditional payment methods. Here are a few additional options:
- In-Person Payments: You can pay with cash at any MoneyGram® location, providing a secure and accessible payment option for those who prefer to handle their bills in person.
- Phone Payments: Simply call the number on the back of your BCBSM member ID card to make a payment over the phone.
- Mail Payments: If you prefer the traditional method, you can mail your payment by following the instructions provided on your bill.
Employer Group Members
