Select or change your primary care physician (PCP)
At the time of enrollment, you must select a primary care physician (PCP). Your Member ID card will list the PCP you select. Each covered member of your family also must select a PCP.
What is subrogation?
Subrogation refers to the legal right of an insurance company — after payment of a loss — to recover monies from the responsible party's insurance carrier. For BlueAdvantage, it refers to those times when another insurance carrier may be responsible for payment of medical care.
Obtain a referral to a specialist
Your primary care physician may refer you to an in-network specialist. For a referral to an out-of-network specialist, your PCP must submit an out-of-network referral request for possible coverage authorization.
