PreferredBlue
is a Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield individual preferred-provider program and
is available in 29 western Pennsylvania counties. PreferredBlue utilizes the Keystone
Health Plan West network of physicians.
In
this plan, each covered member has direct access to any network or out-of-network
provider - including specialists. Care that is received from a network provider
is paid at the higher level (after deductible). Care that is received from an
out-of-network provider will be paid at a lower level (after 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. PreferredBlue
