Find a Doctor or Hospital With BCBSIL

​​If you want a new health plan but not a new doctor, we can help. There are a few things you can do to find out if your BCBSIL plan covers the health care providers you already visit: 

​Search online for in-network care local to you in Illinois. Use our website to find out which plans cover visits to your doctor: 

• ​Greater Chicago
• ​Springfield 
• ​Peoria
• ​Quad Cities

​Ask your doctor if they’re part of your plan’s network.​ 

If your doctor isn’t in your plan’s network but you don’t want to find someone new, you may be able to search for a new plan with a new network. Depending on your plan type, you might be able to enroll through Special Enrollment. Otherwise, wait for Open or Annual Enrollment.

You can also choose to search for a new doctor or hospital covered by your plan. If a provider you're looking for doesn't show up in the search results, there are a few possible reasons:

• The provider's not in-network for your plan
• The provider may have recently joined or left the network
• There may be a search term mismatch. Try checking he spelling or searching with different details, like address, instead.

You can also call the Member Services number on your member ID card to check if a provider's in-network before your appointment.

When you’re facing a new health concern, finding a doctor that specializes in your diagnosis can feel overwhelming. There are a few options you have to get the care you need:

Search for specialized care local to Illinois. 

• Use our Provider Finder tool above or the BCBSIL mobile app to search for in-network doctors who specialize in your diagnosis.
• Visit our Specialty Care Center pages to search for Specialty Care Centers.

Ask your doctor for a recommendation or referral. Getting a referral from your primary care provider is important if you have an HMO plan and want to save money.
