Blue Cross and Blue Shield (BCBS) is one of the most trusted and respected names in the health care benefits industry. Now, thanks to the BlueCard Preferred Provider Prganization (PPO), you can take advantage of that reputation while traveling to almost anywhere in the United States.
Through the BlueCard PPO Program, Blue Cross and Blue Shield Plans work together to help ensure our customers receive affordable health care. Blue Cross and Blue Shield Plans throughout the country have established Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) networks of contracting doctors, hospitals and other health care providers. These extensive provider networks – available to 97 percent of the U.S. population – are the key to the BlueCard PPO Program.
As a BlueCard PPO customer, you can enjoy some peace of mind in knowing that you are in-network benefits at contracting providers.

Highlights of the BlueCard PPO Program
Freedom to Choose
With the BlueCard PPO, you have the freedom to choose your provider. However, when utilizing BlueCard PPO contracting providers, you will receive in-network benefits for many services.
Available Care Coast-to-Coast
When you're traveling outside of Texas, information you need about the BlueCard PPO is a phone call away. You may obtain information regarding BCBS PPO contracting network providers and hospitals by calling customer service at the number on the back of your ID card or the BlueCard telephone number at (800) 810-BLUE (2583) when medical services are warranted outside of your local plan service area.
