Check the Price Tag Before You Go for Care

You wouldn’t buy a car without shopping around for the best deal, would you? So do you check the price tag when you need a medical procedure?

Cost is something to look at when choosing where to go for care.

When your doctor suggests a procedure, you can choose where to have it done. You can find quality, low-cost doctors, imaging centers, hospitals and other providers.

If you are part of our Member Rewards program, you may even earn a cash reward for picking the lower cost provider.

It’s easy to use Member Rewards. Just follow these steps to get started:

1. Log in to Blue Access for Members^SM.
2. Start a search for your procedure by clicking on Find Care and select a reward eligible location.
3. Get the procedure at your chosen rewards eligible location.
4. Once the claim is paid and verified as reward eligible, you'll get a check within four to six weeks.
