The BlueCard® Program
Traveling across the country or around the world? The BlueCard Program* helps Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Oklahoma (BCBSOK) members:
- Get needed health care when you travel or live outside your Blue Plan service area
- Get the same benefits as your BCBSOK plan when you travel or are away from home for an extended amount of time
- Find a doctor or hospital throughout the United States — More than 90% of all hospitals and doctors in the U.S. contract with Blue Cross and Blue Shield (BCBS)
- Find a doctor or hospital outside the U.S. in more than 200 countries around the world through Blue Cross and Blue Shield Global Core
BlueCard coverage varies for each BCBS Plan. It depends on if you choose a provider who contracts with BCBS. Be sure to call Customer Service at the number on the back of your member ID card before you travel.
If you are already a BCBSOK member, log in to Blue Access for MembersSM to find more information about BlueCard.
