With Blue Care, members have access to many
of the best doctors, hospitals and specialists in North Carolina. Members
visit in-network providers, show their Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North
Carolina (BCBSNC) ID card and pay their copayment. The doctor handles
the administrative details and files the claims. There’s no messy
paperwork. It’s that easy. Members can even go directly to in-network
specialists without a referral.1
With Blue Care, members have access to large networks with a wide range
of providers and pay predictable copayments.2 Even when members
are outside of North Carolina, they are covered for urgent and emergency
care in more than 200 countries and territories worldwide.3
To find a nearby network provider, members can search the BlueCard®
provider directory at bcbsnc.com or call 1-800-810-BLUE (2583).
Blue Care members are covered for preventive care including annual physical
exams, annual Ob/Gyn visits, standard immunizations, annual eye exams,
as well as mammograms and prostate screenings.3 Blue Care plans may also
include a pharmacy benefit, in which case, members pay only a copayment
for prescription drugs.
As BCBSNC members, Blue Care members have access to a variety of resources
and programs designed to improve their health and wellness. Resources
include the Member Health Partnerships, programs that help members manage
health conditions like asthma and diabetes, and Blue Extras, free value-added
programs that provide members discounts on everything from vitamins to
gym memberships.4
