IMPORTANT NOTICES
- H1N1 (Swine Flu) Information
- Receiving Emergency Care (Employees and Retirees under 65)
- ALERT! There has been an increase in the number of facilities not located in a hospital that represent themselves as "Emergency Care" treatment centers. Because these facilities are not licensed by the state as emergency facilities, BCBSTX has developed criteria that a facility must meet to be considered a non-hospital based emergency room facility. Read more about "emergency care" treatment centers.
- Before receiving care, verify all your physicians are in the network
