Follow these steps to get the information you need: 1. Find the facility where you will be receiving care. 2. Next to each facility, you will see a list of the hospital-based physicians and/or groups who practice at that facility. 3. The first five columns of the table represent the following five specialties: Anesthesiology, pathology, radiology, emergency medicine and neonatology. There will be a checkmark (P) in the appropriate specialty column for each physician or group who participates in the Blue Cross networks. 4. The first column in blue shows whether the physician or group is... P Participating in Blue Cross’ PPO network 5. The last column will be highlighted in red if the physican or group is... P Not participating in any Blue Cross network and therefore considered “out-of-network.” What you can do with this information: If you are planning to have surgery done at a network facility that has one or more out-of-network hospital-based physician(s), members may be balanced billed for the difference between the Blue Cross payment and the provider’s allowable charge. You may consider asking your surgeon whether you can have your procedure at another hospital. If that is not possible, you may be “balance billed” by an out-of-network provider. In that case, call the out-of-network provider’s office and ask whether they will accept Blue Cross’ allowable charge as full payment for their services. If you have questions, call Customer Service at the number on your member ID card, or use the secure online inquiry form to send us your question. This chart tells you the contracting status of hospital-based physicians in the following specialties: anesthesiology, emergency room medicine, neonatology, pathology and radiology.
