Blue Cross Blue Shield Opening Your Blue Store In Narragansett

NARRAGANSETT, RI — A new Your Blue Store is coming to Narragansett, a spokesperson for Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island said Thursday.

The new health insurance and wellness shop at the Salt Pond Shopping Center will be the fifth Your Blue Store location in Rhode Island. Already under construction, it will be the largest Your Blue Store when it joins existing locations in Cranston, East Providence, Lincoln and Warwick in fall 2023, according to a company spokesperson.

"I am excited to expand the reach of Your Blue Store locations across Rhode Island and into South County, a community of which my family and I are a part," Executive Vice President Melissa Cummings said. "Your Blue Store and its unmatched face-to-face service have redefined the member-health insurer experience. The stores have been so successful that locations now extend from Blackstone Valley to our southern coast. Our Your Blue Store teams are friendly, knowledgeable, and trusted — and they have roots in Rhode Island, just like our members."

Your Blue Stores are designed to simplify the sometimes complicated aspects of health insurance, offering services in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Members can visit a location with benefit questions, for help finding a doctor, to take a fitness class, or to talk to a nurse about ways to save on medications.

Other services include:

• One-on-one consultations to review plans and benefits
• Bill payment for Medicare Advantage and individual plan premiums
• Fitness classes and well-being workshops
• Immunizations and screenings
• Onsite nurse case managers and dieticians to help manage ongoing medical challenges
• Connections to local resources for housing, transportation, and food insecurity.
