Services you receive during an inpatient or outpatient admission may include services rendered by a hospital-based physician such as an anesthesiologist, pathologist, radiologist, neonatologist or an emergency medicine physician.

In an effort to minimize your out-of-pocket expenses, below you will find information that will assist you in determining which facilities have hospital-based physicians who are contracted with BCBSTX. Your out-of-pocket expenses may be greater if you utilize a facility where hospital-based physicians do not contract with BCBSTX.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX) makes every effort to contract with hospital-based physicians that routinely provide services at BlueChoice network facilities. To confirm that your hospital includes hospital-based physicians who contract with BCBSTX, select one of the hospital lists below.

• Abilene & San Angelo Area
• Amarillo Area
• Austin Area
• Beaumont Area
• Corpus Christi Area
• Dallas Area
• El Paso Area
• Fort Worth Area
• Houston Area
• Lubbock Area
• Midland/Odessa Area
• San Antonio Area
• The Valley Area
• Tyler/Texarkan Area

Note: Network provider agreements do not guarantee a BlueChoice physician will be available at the time of each patient's service. Emergency medicine physician agreements generally apply to the attending physician only and do not always apply to the specialty care physician/professional provider consultations provided during emergency room visits. In addition, physician network participation is subject to change.
