Your Access to Health Care
Preferred Provider Organizations (PPO) Plans offer you the freedom to choose any doctor or facility within the Blue Cross PPO Network for covered medical services. If you choose from the more than 42,000 participating doctors or 440 participating hospitals that belong to the Blue Cross of California PPO Network, your costs will be based on negotiated fees, (the fees we agreed upon when the doctor or hospital joined our network) and you will save substantially.

Your Plan Type and Access to Health Care
The plan type you choose will determine how you select and access health care services. In general, the wider your choice of doctors and hospitals,
the higher your costs will be in terms of premiums and/or levels of health care coverage.
