Common questions and problems

 

  1. I get an error when logging in to the secure section. I know I have my user ID and password entered correctly.

    BlueAccess may be unavailable on Sunday mornings between the hours of 4 and 10 am due to system maintenance. If you are attempting to log in at this time, please try again later.

    In case you are entering the incorrect user ID or password you can retrieve either one using the following link, Forgot ID/Password.

  4. What is the requirement for viewing PDF documents?

    PDF files can be viewed using a program called Adobe Acrobat Reader. You can obtain Acrobat Reader free of charge from the Adobe website. Version 9.0 or higher is required.

     

    If you have any difficulty installing or using Acrobat Reader, please visit the Adobe website. Acrobat Reader is entirely owned and distributed by Adobe Systems, Inc., and we cannot provide technical support for the product.
     

  5. I click on WebMD/Blue365/Disease Management/Drug Links and nothing happens.

    All of these links open up in a new tab or browser window. You will need to make sure your pop-up blocker is turned off when using these links.
