Provider Networks
Nationally, over 80% of hospitals and 90% of
physicians provide in-network services to Blue Cross and
Blue Shield Plans. Our health plans are among the most
widely accepted in the nation, creating a vast and capable
network offering maximum flexibility for employers and
their employees. Additionally, members also can access
BlueCard® in-network medical services in over 200
countries around the world.
We maintain this network strength throughout the Pacific
Northwest for customers in Oregon and southwest Washington.
Here’s a closer look at the three diverse network
options provided in our BlueChoices product suite.
