BSSP's slogan has been, for many years, "Healthy Employees Supported by Quality, Well-Managed Programs."  On January 30, 2014, BSSP launched another significant benefit in support of that statement:  The Butte Schools Health and Wellness Center.  

​The Health and Wellness Centers (HWCs) are dedicated to providing urgent, primary and preventive care solely to employees, retirees and family members covered by one of BSSP's medical plans.    Our care team brings many  years of experience to help you on your health journey.

HWC's COVID-10 Response

​The staff at your Health and Wellness Centers are committed to providing the best care for you and your family during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.  To minimize the spread of COVID-19 and limit exposure for patients and staff, we offer telephone appointments when appropriate.    Office appointments are also available as needed, although the wearing of a mask may be required within the Health and Wellness Center based on local infection rates.  

As always, call Chico (530-879-7582) or Oroville (530-532-5918) to schedule an appointment.  Telephone appointments are also available for many acute or episodic conditions not requiring a physical examination.

Copays are as follows:  
  • Preventive care is $0 on all plans.
  • HSA plans:  In accordance with IRS regulations,  the normal $25 copay for members exclusively covered under an HSA plan is WAIVED (for telephone and VirtualCare appointments, only) through September 30, 2022.  
  • Non-HSA plans may have a dispensary copay of $4 or $8.  
Collection and payment:  Billings for these amounts will be sent to your home address.  When the bill is received, you may mail payment via check.  If you'd like to use your HSA account for payment, you may reimburse yourself from your HSA account or request a bill-pay directly to the HWC from your HSA account.

Blood draws and specimen collection for most laboratory tests, including those ordered outside of the HWC ​
The HWC Dispensary can dispense those medications which are included in the formulary and prescribed by the HWC provider at the time of your visit.  Now, there's no need to stop at the pharmacy or request mail order for many of your prescription needs.  The HWC Dispensary is not a traditional "pharmacy" and cannot fill prescriptions from an outside provider.  The HWC provider may dispense maintenance medications, if in the formulary, which have been previously prescribed by an outside provider after an office visit with the HWC provider.  
​

Generic medications included on the formulary are available at a $4 copayment; the copayment for brand name medications is $8.  For members covered under an HSA plan, medications dispensed are included within the $25 office visit charge.
​
NOTE:  In order to comply with all regulations set forth by the Medical Board and Board of Pharmacy, the patient must be seen by the Healthstat Provider before drugs are dispensed.
