You can verify a member’s eligibility and benefits in several ways:
- Provider website: Verify member eligibility and benefits, basic demographic information, deductible, benefit limit accumulators, and claim status.
- Interactive Voice Response (IVR): Specific self-service information is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 877-342-5258 , option 2. Note: IVR isn’t available for service related to the Federal Employee Program or BlueCard.
- Limitations and exclusions: Benefit plans typically have limitations, exclusions, services, and supplies that plans don’t cover. A list is available in Provider Reference Info.
- Emergency care: Members should call 911 or seek care immediately if they have a medical emergency. Our plans cover emergency care 24 hours a day, anywhere in the world. If a member is treated in the emergency department, the member’s physician or other provider needs to provide any necessary follow-up care.
Plan benefits vary by
contract. Actual payment is subject to the subscriber’s contract and eligibility at the time of service. For more information about member eligibility and coverage, member appeals, and member responsibilities, visit the Provider Reference Library.
