Michigan Medicine Network Update

Michigan Medicine Southeast Michigan facilities and providers will no longer participate in the Blue Cross Blue Shield Michigan and Blue Care Network networks, as of July 1, 2026, unless a new agreement is reached. Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement members are NOT impacted.

Members can visit bcbsm.com and use our Find a Doctor tool to confirm if a physician or facility participates in our network. You can also call the doctor’s office and ask if they are in the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan or BCN network.

Or if you need assistance, call the number on the back of your member ID card and a representative can help you.

Previously scheduled non-elective procedures will be covered by Blue Cross and members will be responsible for participating, out-of-pocket costs.

Many other services, including elective surgeries, will not be covered or will be covered at a lesser amount, if a new contract is not signed before July 1, 2026. Michigan Medicine could bill you the difference between what Blue Cross pays for the service and Michigan Medicine’s billed charges. We recommend you schedule procedures with participating providers and facilities.

Michigan Medicine emergency rooms are not affected, but you should only use the emergency room for emergency care. When you receive emergency care, you will be protected from surprise bills*, although specific cost coverage varies by plan. Until a new contract is reached, we encourage you to seek other participating hospitals for emergency room, elective and non-emergency services.

*Under the No Surprises Act, the hospital cannot bill you for costs above the amount allowed by Blue Cross.
