Step 1: Go to gmail.com and click "Create account."

Step 2: Select "For my personal use."

Step 3: Enter your first and last name, then click "Next."

Step 4: Enter your date of birth and gender, then click "Next."

Step 5: Choose a Gmail address. Google may suggest options, or you can create your own. Something simple works best — for example, [e-mail]. Click "Next."

Step 6: Create a password. It must be at least 8 characters. Use a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols. Write your password down and keep it somewhere safe. Click "Next."

Step 7: Add your phone number for account recovery. This helps you get back into your account if you ever forget your password. Click "Next."

Step 8: Review your account info and click "Next." Then read and accept Google's terms by clicking "I agree."

That's it — your email address is ready to use. You can now use it to register for your member portal at bcbsazflex.com. See How to Register for Your Member Portal for next steps.

Tips: 

• Write down your email address and password and keep them somewhere safe 
• Your email address is not case-sensitive - [e-mail] and [e-mail] go to the same inbox
• Each member needs their own email address - two accounts cannot share the same email
