C o v e r a g e w h e r e v e r y o u g o w i t h E x c e l l u s B l u e C r o s s B l u e S h i e l d All you have to do is show your ID card to any BlueCross BlueShield participating hospital or doctor anywhere in the country and you re covered. At the special negotiated rate, with no paperwork. That s the BlueCard program. BlueCard brings you: Freedom to choose any provider (85% of the hospitals and physicians in the U.S.) BlueCross BlueShield provider network discounts Customer service online and toll-free No claim forms with network providers An ID card recognized worldwide while traveling Coverage for kids who are away from home It s so easy to use. Choose the physician, specialist, or hospital you want to use by calling 1 (800) 810-BLUE (2583) or visiting excellusbcbs.com. Then just show your BlueCross BlueShield ID card when you arrive. To make it even easier, network providers bill us directly. You can also see providers outside the network. Your share of costs will probably be higher, but you have the freedom to choose. Two ways your coverage travels with you. As a BlueCross BlueShield member, you have access to health benefits across the country whether you re taking a quick trip or staying long term. Here s how it works: If you re traveling, the BlueCard program gives you access to doctors and hospitals almost everywhere. In an emergency, you should go directly to the nearest emergency room. For all other types of needed care, just call your Primary Care Physician (PCP) back at home for instruction on what to do. If you are away from home for more than 90 days, you can use the Guest Membership benefit through Away From Home Care. Guest Membership is a temporary enrollment that enables members who are living away from home to receive benefits including individual, routine and preventive services. It provides you and your family with the peace of mind of accessible health care. Perfect for any covered family member attending school out of state, located in a different service area on a long-term work assignment or retirees with dual residence (excludes Medicare). For eligibility information and specific locations where the Guest Membership benefit is available, please contact our Customer Service Department.

H e a l t h p l a n t e r m s To help you better understand our plans and your coverage, here are a few definitions* for frequently used health care terms. Primary Care Physician (PCP) A doctor who serves as your health care manager and coordinates virtually all of the health care services you routinely receive. Some plans do not require you to choose a PCP. Referral Instructions provided by a PCP for specialty care. Most plans do not require referrals. In-network coverage The coverage available when you receive services from a provider who participates in your health plan. Out-of-network coverage The coverage available when you receive services from a provider who does not participate in your health plan. Some plans may not include out-of-network coverage. Out-of-area Describes when you receive services while outside the geographic service area of your health plan. Your plan benefits may differ if you live or work beyond the geographic service area. Copay A dollar amount due at the time you receive certain services. A typical example would be an office visit copay due when visiting your physician s office for treatment. Allowed Amount The maximum amount your health plan will pay for a specific service. In-network providers agree to accept the allowed amount as payment in full. Coinsurance A cost-sharing method that requires you pay a portion of the allowed amount for certain medical services. Deductible A set dollar amount you pay for covered services you receive before your insurer will make a payment. Out-of-pocket maximum The maximum amount of deductible and coinsurance payments that you will pay for health services each calendar year. *Some definitions may vary slightly by plan. In case of a conflict between your legal plan documents and this information, the plan documents will govern.
