As a Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX) STAR member, you can find many network providers in the Travis service area. You have a wide choice of primary care providers, specialists, hospitals and pharmacies.
You should use in-network providers. If you choose to see a doctor who is not part of our network, you may have to pay for the services. Except in an emergency, the plan may not cover care received from out-of-network providers. Check with the provider to make sure that he or she is in the network before you get care. See Out-of-Network Coverage for more information.
You also must choose a primary care physician (PCP) from the Provider Network when you join. You can choose a different PCP for each member. A PCP is your main health care provider and will arrange your care with other doctors and hospitals. Your PCP can be a:
- Pediatrician
- Family or General Practitioner
- Obstetrician/Gynecologist (OB/GYN)
- Internist (Internal Medicine)
- Nurse Practitioner (NP) or Physician Assistant (PA)
- Clinic such as Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) or Rural Health Clinics (RHCs)
You can call customer service for help choosing a PCP or use the Provider Finder®.
