We can help you balance what matters most to you and your employees — cost and choice. A POS network combines the two most common types of health insurance plans, HMO and PPO, giving them flexibility and affordability.

This network also makes it easy for your employees to seek care using our vast HMO network. If your employee has a Michigan address, they’ll need to select a primary care provider, or PCP. They can still go to a specialist and other physicians without a referral. If your employee lives outside of Michigan, they won’t have to choose a PCP.

This offers you an exceptional value. It also gives your employees the option of both in- and out-of-network doctors, hospitals and specialists. Even though a referral isn’t required, certain services will still require prior approval by BCN.

In-network versus out-of-network providers

• In-network providers are BCN HMO contracted providers and out-of-state BlueCard Traditional participating providers. Members pay less out of pocket when they’re seen by these providers.
• Out-of-network providers are other providers within the U.S. that aren’t BCN HMO contracted providers or BlueCard Traditional participating providers.
