Can health care providers treat themselves or family members?
“Physician, heal thyself.”
This ancient expression, while wise, does not reflect Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan policy.
We’d like to remind you that it is Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan’s policy to not cover services that health care providers render to themselves or immediate family members. We define immediate family members as first-degree relatives, including parents, siblings, spouse and children.
For more information, contact your provider consultant.
