Hey there! If you’re a Target team member, you’re probably curious about what kind of health care support and resources the company offers to keep you and your family in tip-top shape.
I’ve been diving into the TargetPayandBenefits program, and let me tell you, it’s packed with perks that make life a little easier—whether you’re dealing with a pesky cold or navigating a complex medical journey.
In this article, I’ll walk you through the care support and resources available, sprinkle in some personal insights, and show you how to make the most of these benefits. Ready? Let’s get started!
Virtual Care Platform
Let’s kick things off with the virtual care platform—a game-changer for busy folks like us. Through CirrusMD, you and your medically enrolled dependents can connect with a doctor anytime, anywhere, without the hassle of scheduling an appointment.
I remember when I had a weird rash last summer—yep, super fun—and instead of dragging myself to urgent care, I texted a doc on CirrusMD. Within minutes, I was sharing pics and getting advice. No waiting rooms, no stress, and it was low-cost (or even free!).
Here’s what you get with this virtual care gem:
- 24/7 access: Text, share images, or video chat with a doctor about general medical conditions.
- No appointments needed: Perfect for those “is this normal?” moments at 2 a.m.
- Low or no cost: Saves your wallet while addressing your health concerns.
Pro tip: Use CirrusMD for quick questions about symptoms, medications, or even mental health check-ins. It’s like having a doctor in your pocket. Keep the app handy for those unexpected health hiccups!
This platform makes healthcare feel like a breeze—use it to save time and stress!
Prescription Drug Discount Card
Next up, let’s talk about the Prescription Drug Discount Card through Inside Rx. This is a lifesaver for anyone juggling medication costs. Whether you’re picking up generic or brand-name medications, you can save at over 60,000 pharmacies nationwide.
I once used this at my local pharmacy for a pricey prescription and shaved off a solid chunk of the cost—felt like winning a mini lottery!
Here’s the breakdown:
- Wide reach: Use it at major pharmacies like CVS, Walgreens, or even smaller local spots.
- Savings on generics and brands: Great for both one-off and chronic medications.
- Available to all U.S. team members: No need to be enrolled in a Target medical plan.
How to use it: Download the Inside Rx card online, show it at the pharmacy, and watch the price drop. It’s that simple. If you’re on regular meds, check this out ASAP to cut down on out-of-pocket costs.
Trust me, your bank account will thank you for this one!
Bullseye Health Spot Care Coordinators:
If you’re enrolled in a Target-sponsored medical plan like Blue Cross and Blue Shield, you get access to the Bullseye Health Spot Care Coordinators. These folks are like your personal healthcare navigators.
I had a confusing insurance issue last year, and my care coordinator swooped in, explained everything, and even connected me to a specialist. It’s like having a super-smart friend who knows benefits inside out.
What they do for you:
- Answer questions:
- From billing issues to coverage details, they’ve got you.

Make it work for you: Call or message your care coordinator when you’re lost in the healthcare maze. They’re there to simplify your medical journey.
Having a care coordinator is like having a cheat code for healthcare—use it!

Surgery can be daunting, but Lantern makes it smoother. This comprehensive surgery program offers personalized care coordination to ensure high-quality care at a lower cost. In the HRA and Surest Plans, surgery costs are waived, and in the HSA Plan, you just pay the deductible.
I know someone who used Lantern for knee surgery, and they raved about the hand-holding through the whole process.
