Healthcare Bluebook Means Cash Rewards A service offered through our Watco benefits program allows team members who are enrolled in a Watco health insurance plan to be rewarded for choosing lower-cost options for medical procedures or facilities. Healthcare Bluebook is a tool you can use to find pricing for Watco-approved services. Ultrasounds, X-rays, CT scans, and imaging are among the things listed in the app. So are many of the -oscopies and -ectomies you might search for, along with other surgeries. When you couple a Fair Price™ procedure with a Fair Price facility, which are designed with a green $, you are eligible to earn the reward amount shown. For comparison, you will also see services determined to be “Above Fair Price” (yellow) and “High Price” (red). In-network procedures can vary by over 500%, depending on the facility you choose. So it’s key to choose the Fair Price procedure and facility to receive a reward. The rewards you earn go into your HRA or HSA benefit account. Deposits to your account typically occur once a month, possibly as much as three months after a procedure.
When you find a service on HealthCare Bluebook and use a Fair Price facility, you’re eligible for a reward that will be credited to your Watco HSA or HRA benefit account with NueSynergy.
To get started, download the app to your phone from the Apple App Store or Google play. (When asked for a mobile code, use “Watco.”) For additional help using the app, call (800) 875-9717. Or go to go.watco.com. Select NueSynergy, then Healthcare Bluebook.
