DirectBlue
is a Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield individual preferred-provider program and
is available throughout Western Pennsylvania. In
this plan, each covered family member has direct access to any provider - including
specialists - in or out of the DirectBlue network. Care that is received from
a network provider is paid at the highest level. Care that is received from an
out-of-network provider will be paid at a lower level after satisfying a deductible.
No referrals are required for medical services. Although, you are not required
to select a Primary Care Physician (PCP), we do recommend that you choose a personal
physician. This helps you establish an ongoing relationship based on knowledge
and trust and keeps your care consistent.
