The Record - for physicians and other health care providers to share with their office staffs
December 2013

Members have power to compare provider treatment costs and quality with redesigned feature

The newly redesigned Find a Doctor feature at bcbsm.com integrates a doctor and hospital search, treatment cost estimates and provider quality data into one, all-inclusive search feature.

When members log in to bcbsm.com, the Find a Doctor feature allows them to gain more information about participating doctors and hospitals in Michigan and across the country. Members can compare doctors and hospitals within their specific health plan, access treatment costs by facility for nearly 400 different health services (PPO only) and see extensive hospital quality information across the nation.

This enhanced feature makes finding a doctor easier and more convenient because members can find care based on criteria that’s important to them, while bringing your office additional patients as well as those more suited to your specialty. 

Members can also discover which doctors offer extended office hours, read patient reviews about a particular doctor’s services or even leave a review of their own.

In addition, members can take their search on the go with their mobile device or tablet, and if members forget to bring their ID card to an appointment, they can access their own virtual ID card right in your office from a mobile device.

Our Find a Doctor feature provides members with confidence knowing they can find the information they need to make more informed decisions.

Stay tuned as we continue to release more improvements.
