Care While Traveling is Easier Than Ever

A current series of credit card ads features quaint and obscure
places that accept this particular brand of credit card. Although
it may be terrific that some out-of-the-way boutique will
let you run up a tab, it's crucial that out-of-the-way hospitals,
doctors and pharmacies take your health plan ID card.
With
BCN you get the Blue Cross and Blue Shield - symbols recognized
and accepted across the country. Because BCN is a Blue Cross
and Blue Shield health plan, it's the only HMO in Michigan
that can offer its members comprehensive care when they travel.
We do it through BlueCard, a program that gives our traveling
members access to hospitals and doctors that participate with
Blue plans across the country.
Within Michigan, we've opened our physician network so members
living away from home - say, a student at college - can select
any doctor who contracts with us, no matter where the member
lives and where the doctor is located. Members simply select
a primary care physician at their temporary residence.
Our
Blue affiliation and our hard-to-beat travel coverage are
two reasons BCN is a great choice for you and your employees.
