If you have a Total or Total Value PPO plan, it's not required.
As a member of BlueCross Total Value, you do not have to choose a network Primary Care Provider (PCP); however, we strongly encourage you to choose a PCP and let us know whom you have chosen. Your PCP can help you stay healthy, treat illnesses and coordinate your care with other health care providers. You do not need a referral to visit a specialist.
If you have a Secure HMO plan, you must have a PCP on file with us.
It is very important that you choose a network PCP and tell us whom you have chosen. Your PCP can help you stay healthy, treat illnesses, and coordinate your care with other health care providers. Your PCP will provide most of your care, and when you need more specialized services, he or she will coordinate your care with other providers. Your PCP will help you find a specialist and will arrange for covered services you get as a member of our plan.
You can find an up-to-date list of Primary Care Providers, Specialists, Durable Medical Equipment Suppliers and Hospitals in our network using our online finder tools.
