Blue Shield HMO participants have access to Blue Shield's Life Referrals 24/7, which is similar to the Member Assistance Program (MAP) formerly available through OptumHealth. This program allows members to access a 24/7 help line (800-985-2405) to speak with a mental health counselor, life coach, or even a financial advisor. As with regular medical benefits, HMO Participants will be required to use Blue Shield's network.
