Medical Insurance

The in-network component allows you to choose any provider from the BlueCard program and provides a higher level of benefits. The out-of-network component of the plan provides you with the ability to see any provider of your choice, but at a greater cost.

In addition to a national network of providers participating in the BlueCard program, members also have access to doctors and hospitals outside of the United States worldwide though the BlueCross BlueShield Global Core program. Search for participating providers at Excellus’ website. (Select Plan “BluePPO and Signature PPO-(Excellus Commercial)”.)
