The BlueChoice plan provides emergency care coverage for members, even when traveling out-of-state or abroad.

• In an emergency, members can seek care from any emergency room or other similar facility.
• Members can call 911 or other community emergency resources to obtain assistance in life-threatening situations.
• Emergency room care at any hospital is covered. All emergencies are paid at the in-network benefit level less the copayment, no matter where the member receives treatment.
• If a member is admitted to the hospital from the emergency room, they need to notify the Medical Support Program within 48 hours to receive the highest level of benefits.
• If possible, a member should call their primary care physician first, as the doctor may be able to treat them in the office.
