BlueCard® Program

The BlueCard program links participating health care providers and the independent Blue Cross and Blue Shield Plans across the country and around the world through a single electronic network.

BlueCard enables our members to obtain health care services while traveling or living in another Blue Cross and/or Blue Shield Plan’s service area.

Program Advantages for Providers:

  • The program allows you to submit claims for members from other BCBS Plans to the Texas Plan.
  • BCBSTX is your sole contact for claims payment, problem resolution and adjustments.

Covered/NonCovered Services:

Covered Services Under BlueCard

  • All inpatient, outpatient and professional services

Services Not Covered Under BlueCard

  • Prescription Drugs
  • Hearing/Vision
  • Dental (non-surgical)
  • Federal Employee Program® (FEP)
