This plan uses a network of doctors, specialists, and hospitals. Any doctor who is part of the network can be selected as your provider of choice, although it is not required that you select one. Your costs are lower when you use in-network, preferred providers.
Doctors and Hospitals
After-Hours Care
If you need care and your doctor's office is closed, you have options:
Get medical advice from a Blue Cross nurse, 24/7, by calling the Blue Care LineSM toll-free at 1-888-247-BLUE (2583).
Visit a limited services clinic (such as CVS Minute Clinic®'').
Go to an urgent care center if you have an injury or illness that needs immediate attention but isn't life threatening.
Emergency Care
In an emergency, go to the nearest medical facility, or call 911. You pay a $65 emergency room copay (waived if you are admitted to the hospital or for an observation stay).
