Reminder: Refer Blue Cross FEP members to Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan network providers

When Blue Cross and Blue Shield Federal Employee Program® members are referred to out‑of‑network providers, they’re at risk of having to pay higher costs. Be sure to follow the directions in your Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan provider agreement and Blue Cross provider manual, instructing you to refer your Blue Cross patients to network providers.

Our goal is to:

  • Give members convenient access to high‑quality, cost‑efficient services that meet their clinical needs.
  • Help members avoid higher copayments and other out‑of‑pocket costs that may result from using out‑of‑network providers.

To verify if a provider is in the Blue Cross network for your patient, visit bcbsm.com or click here.
