Mount Pleasant Councilmen Gary Santos, Joe Bustos and Ken Glasson recently attended the grand opening of SC BlueStore – SC BlueCross’ first retail-driven outlet offering face to face assistance to individuals, both under age 65 and over age 65, as well as children.
Located at 615 Johnnie Dodds Blvd., Suite 205, in The Plaza at East Cooper Shopping Center, the 1,800 square foot SC BlueStore will offer shoppers the opportunity to discuss health insurance, attend wellness seminars and use a wellness station where they can check blood pressure, experience a chair massage and enjoy refreshments.
“We welcome SC BlueStore to Mount Pleasant and commend them for their innovative retail approach as the health insurance market increasingly becomes consumer-driven,” said Councilman Santos. “Mount Pleasant remains attentive to the needs of its businesses and committed to ensuring a strong economic base for existing, expanding or relocating businesses.”
“Our SC BlueStore is designed to provide a comfortable and informative space for a customer to discuss insurance,” said BlueCross BlueShield Division President David Pankau. “Cutting through the confusing world of insurance terminology, we plan to provide clear and concise information to help them select the health insurance plan that is right for them. This will be a much more satisfying personal experience in a convenient retail setting.”
The store, to be staffed by BlueCross personnel and independent agents, will be open 9:30 a.m.-6:30 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays and 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Saturdays.
BlueCross offers health insurance for children, adult individuals, families, senior citizens and employer groups. The company recently introduced Blue SpectrumSM, a rebranding of the company’s health insurance plans that also adds new, lower cost plans. All BlueCross members benefit from BlueCross’ preferred provider (PPO) network, the largest in the state, and the BlueCard® network that allows in-network access to providers in other states served by other BlueCross and BlueShield companies.
