HMO Blue^® Texas

The BCBSTX HMO product is health care coverage that provides benefits only when services are received from providers in the HMO Blue^® Texas network when prescribed, directed, or authorized by the member's Primary Care Physician (PCP) or the HMO.  Members electing the HMO are required to choose a PCP from a network of contracting doctors in the HMO Blue Texas network.  This doctor coordinates the member's care and helps the member make informed decisions, including recommendations for wellness and preventive care services.  In addition, female members can receive specialized care from an OB/GYN from the same network as their PCP without a referral.

HMO Blue Texas offers a wide range of benefits without financial surprises.  Members will have a predictable copayment, no deductible, and no claims or other paperwork to file.  Plans offered include varying copayment options including a differing office visit copayment when services are received from a PCP or specialist. The HMO product also includes Away From Home Care^® (AFHC) Guest Membership coverage for members living out of the service area for at least 90 consecutive days.
