Blue Care Network HMO Options

An HMO gives you access to doctors and hospitals within the HMO network. But unlike PPO plans, care under an HMO plan is covered only if you see a provider within that HMO’s network. To enroll in the HMO, you must live in Michigan and select a primary care physician (PCP), and you must obtain a referral from your PCP for other care. Quasar Industries offers two different HMO options.

BCBSM Community Blue 250

The BCBSM Community Blue 250 option is a PPO, which offers the freedom to see any provider when you need care. When you use providers from within the PPO network, you receive benefits at the discounted network cost. Most expenses, such as office visits, emergency room and prescription drugs are covered by a copay. Other expenses are subject to a deductible and coinsurance.
