However, emergency services will be covered at any hospital. Costs shown here are copayments for in-network providers.

4 Coverage that travels with you All of our plans cover you worldwide for urgent and emergency care. You simply show your ID card and pay the same as you would in-network for these services. Rest easy knowing that you re covered anytime, anywhere. If you travel often, you can enjoy the flexibility of BlueCard Network Sharing with our Forever Blue Medicare PPO 751 plan. BlueCard links all BlueCross and/or BlueShield plans so when you travel, you receive the same great care you re used to getting at home. And, you pay the same as you would innetwork for all plan-covered services when you receive care outside of Western New York.* BlueCard participating states Participating BlueCard states and territories: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Puerto Rico. To find out if a doctor or facility participates in the BlueCard Network Sharing program: Call BLUE (2583) and select option 2, or Visit provider.bcbs.com and enter prefix YJX in the Already a Member field. Looking for another option? If you don t travel much or are looking for a lower-cost option, our Forever Blue Medicare PPO Value plan may work better for you. With this plan, you pay less out-of-pocket for in-network services, but a little more when you visit an out-of-network doctor or hospital. *In order for your services to be considered in-network while you are outside of the service area: The provider must participate with the local BlueCard Network Sharing program in the service area. Both you and the provider must be located in the same service area when you receive care. Outside of the U.S., you may be asked to pay 100% of the cost at the time of service. You would then submit a claim to us to be reimbursed for your in-network cost-share.
