In addition to the premium credits to members with employer-based coverage, BCBSTX also issued about $250 million in rebates to individuals and small groups this fall.

To date, BCBSTX’s parent company, Health Care Service Corp., has provided $930 million in relief related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
