Use Network Doctors and Hospitals for Greater Benefits

When you receive care from network doctors and hospitals:

• Benefits are paid at the higher level.
• A minimal co-payment will be required at the time of service.

You can receive care from a doctor or hospital outside the network, but benefits will be paid at a lower level and your out-of-pocket cost will be higher.

The Network

The BlueChoice Select plan offers access to a focused hospital and physician network.

The hospital network is based on geographic accessibility, the number of board certified doctors on staff, status with the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations and clinical care indicators developed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Clinical care indicator scores of hospitals in the network for the BlueChoice Select product are comparable to the scores of those in the broad network for the Point of Service product.
