Key Information
Understanding the different types of care can help you make informed decisions about your health. You have a choice between primary, urgent, and emergency care when you're experiencing an illness or injury.
Primary care is usually the first line of defense, and it's often provided by your regular doctor or healthcare provider. This type of care is ideal for routine check-ups and managing chronic conditions.
Urgent care is for situations that require immediate attention but aren't life-threatening. Examples include sprains, minor injuries, and illnesses like the flu.
Using BCBS Providers
To get the most out of your BCBS plan, you'll want to see a doctor who is part of our network. If you see a doctor who is not part of our network, you will have to pay for the service(s).
It's always a good idea to check if a provider is in network before you get care. This will help you avoid unexpected costs.
