Here’s what members are saying: “ I’m so glad Florida Blue has people who take the time to call and assist me with my care. I didn’t know insurance companies did things like this. Thank you!” “ My experience with the Florida Blue Care Team has been incredible. Their care, support and availability during my treatments, surgery and recovery was amazing.” “ My case manager helped me in so many ways, even if it was just listening to all my grief. She went well over and above the call of duty.”


See How Your Florida Blue Care Team Can Make a Difference Bill* lives with diabetes. Florida Blue nurse Jennifer realized Bill needed help controlling his blood sugar. She called him to offer her help. As she listened to Bill, Jennifer learned: • Bill wasn’t taking his insulin exactly the way his doctor said he should. Bill explained he can’t afford the cost of his insulin. • He also stopped testing his blood sugar because he ran out of supplies. • And he stopped exercising because he’s had a blister on his foot that wasn’t healing. Bill is worried about possible foot amputation. Jennifer talked to Bill about how to feel more in control of his diabetes. She helped him find where to get his testing supplies for the lowest out-of-pocket cost and explained how using in-network providers can save him money. She also called Bill’s doctor, who prescribed a different type of insulin that Bill can afford. When Bill’s doctor suggested a nurse practitioner visit at home, Jennifer helped Bill make the arrangements.

After meeting Bill in his home, the nurse practitioner referred Bill to an endocrinologist. This type of specialist often treats people living with diabetes. The endocrinologist told Bill he needed to get important screenings for his A1C level and kidneys. The endocrinologist helped Bill get new inserts for his shoes to protect his feet from diabetic problems. She also helped Bill make an appointment with a registered dietitian, so he can make healthy food choices to help lower his blood sugar. Now Bill’s blood sugar is under control. By working with Jennifer, he knows that Florida Blue Cares. That’s the power of having a clinical care expert who partners with you. It’s a relief trusting someone else to handle the details so you can focus on feeling your best.

Here are some more tips to help you get the most value for your health care dollars. Use your wellness benefits.

Your health plan includes a yearly checkup with your primary care doctor—and it’s the easiest way to start using your health plan. This visit is $01 and includes bloodwork, routine screenings and vaccinations. Seeing your doctor every year is a great way to keep tabs on your health and find problems early, when they can be easier to treat.

Value Choice Providers: See one and save even more.

At Sanitas Medical Center and Diagnostic Clinic Medical Group, you’ll get quality care for as low as $0!2 This includes unlimited scheduled visits to a primary care doctor, X-rays, allergy testing and most allergy shots.3 They spend time getting to know you so they can get a complete picture of your health, and they’ll coordinate with other doctors if you need specialized care. You can see pictures of Sanitas doctors and even make appointments at our online provider directory. Sanitas locations are available in Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Pinellas, Hillsborough, Seminole, Orange and Osceola counties. Diagnostic Clinic Medical Group has locations in Pinellas County.

Stay in network and save.

You’ll save time and pay less when you go to doctors and hospitals that are part of your health plan’s network and when you understand how your plan works.

Know your options for urgent care.

If you need care right away and your regular doctor isn’t available, you have options for minor illnesses and injuries. Urgent care centers typically have shorter wait times than the ER and cost less. Use the Florida Blue mobile app to find the nearest urgent care center. And many Florida Blue members get their first two urgent care visits per year at Sanitas or GuideWell Emergency Doctors at a $04 copay! GuideWell Emergency Doctors has three Orlando-area locations. You can also contact a doctor by phone or video through Teladoc.5 Normally you’ll be connected within 10 minutes of your request. Just call 800-835-2362 or visit Teladoc.com to set up an account. In a real emergency, always go the nearest ER and you’re covered.

Use online tools to compare costs.

Whether you have a procedure coming up or need to fill a prescription, you can compare prices with our handy tools. Just log in to your account at floridablue.com and select Tools, then click on the appropriate button to compare and save.

Get the most out of your doctor’s visit

Your visit may last only a few minutes, so it’s best to arrive with a plan. ■ Decide what you want to get out of the visit. Is it a wellness checkup? Do you need a new treatment plan for an ongoing health condition? Do you need to talk about a new symptom? ■ Gather your information. Note your medical history and that of your relatives, if needed. Make a list of your current medications and dosages, including vitamins and supplements. ■ Write down your symptoms. What are they? When did they start? What helps them go away? ■ Write down the questions you want to ask. ■ Bring paper and a pen or an electronic device to take notes during the visit. If needed, bring a caregiver with you to help.

¹You pay $0 if you’re under the age of 65 and you enrolled yourself or your family for health coverage. If, during the visit, your doctor spots or treats a health condition or runs other tests, you might pay more. Talk to your doctor during the visit to stay informed. If you have a health plan through your employer, check with your Human Resources department to verify yearly checkup costs. 2 The $0 copay doesn’t apply to High Deductible Health Plans (HDHP) or Temporary Health Insurance Plans. 3 You might have a copay for urgent care and same-day appointments if you don’t see your primary care doctor. Diagnostic tests like mammograms, sonograms, MRIs and EKGs might require an additional copay. 4 $0 copay does not apply to health savings account (HSA) plans. A total of two (2) urgent care visits for non-HSA plans at Sanitas and/or GuideWell Emergency Doctors are $0. After that, the urgent care cost share applies. 5 Teladoc is an independent company contracted by Florida Blue to provide physician visits via phone or online video to members with non-emergent medical issues.

Where should I go when I need care? Remember, where you go matters! When you need care, choosing the right treatment option can help you avoid needless worry, higher out-of-pocket costs and hours of unnecessary waiting. Your primary care physician should be your first choice when seeking care. Your PCP can treat common illnesses (cold, flu, sore throat, etc.), minor injuries and conduct routine exams, vaccinations and screenings. Use this simple guide to help you make the right decisions when you can’t see your PCP.

Stay in the Network and Save BlueOptions has the most providers of all the Florida Blue health plan networks. You’ll save time and pay less when you go to health care providers who are part of the network4 and understand how your plan works. Know Your Options for Urgent Care If you need care right away and your regular doctor is not available, consider using an urgent care center instead of the emergency room. These centers can usually save time and money on care for minor illnesses and injuries. In a real emergency, always go the nearest emergency room and you’re covered. Out-of-Network Care You’re covered for most services if you see a doctor who’s not in the network, but you’ll pay more. ■■ If you go to an in-network facility but are treated by an out-of-network doctor (like an anesthesiologist or radiologist), you may pay more. If your provider charges more than the maximum amount your plan will pay for that health care service, you may have to pay the difference. ■■ Prescription drugs and dental and vision services, if included in your plan, are covered ONLY if you use a doctor or pharmacy in the BlueOptions network.

Get Approval Ahead of Time for Some Services You won’t need approval ahead of time for many routine services. But for certain medical services, like MRI scans and sleep studies, you’ll need to work with your doctor to get advance approval from Florida Blue. Visit floridablue.com/authorization, or call us to check. Worldwide Coverage You take your health coverage with you when you are abroad. Through the Blue Cross Blue Shield Global Core Program, you have access to doctors and hospitals around the world.

The More You Know To get the most value from your plan, it’s important to understand how your BlueCare plan works and where to go for care. Count on Your Primary Care Doctor BlueCare plans require that you have a primary care doctor to get your care started. You select your doctor at enrollment or one is automatically selected for you. This doctor’s name is shown in your member account, and you can change it at any time. While you’ll have the flexibility to see doctors in your BlueCare network,5 it’s important to have a regular doctor that knows your health care needs best. When You Need to See a Specialist Start with your primary care doctor to understand what type of specialist you may need to see. You won’t need a referral, but talking with your doctor can save you time and may help you get an appointment faster. Plus, when medical services and prescription drugs require an approval before they’re covered, your doctor will take care of this step for you!

Choose Only BlueCare Providers Unless it’s an emergency, this plan does not cover medical services or supplies that you get outside of the BlueCare network. When you use your health coverage, it’s always good to ask providers, “Are you in the BlueCare network?” If you move, be sure to let us know. We’ll need to update your account, and help you find a new primary care doctor, if needed. Know Your Options for Urgent Care If you need care right away and your regular doctor is not available, consider using an urgent care center instead of the emergency room. These centers can usually save time and money on care for minor illnesses and injuries. In a real emergency, always go the nearest emergency room and you’re covered.

So Much Coverage, For So Little Our myBlue health plans1 work a little differently than our other plans, so you can get the care you need and keep your costs down. You’ll have a dedicated doctor from our myBlue network2 and you can fill all your prescriptions at Walgreens3. Your doctor, or another one in the same medical group, will take care of all your health care needs, including referrals to specialists and hospitals. That way your care is covered, and you can focus on staying healthy. Remember, always start with your myBlue primary care doctor when you need medical care. If you don’t, you may have to pay the entire cost of your care, unless it’s an emergency.

The More You Know To get the most value from your plan, it’s important to understand how your myBlue plan works and where to go for care. • Count on your Primary Care Doctor. Your myBlue plan requires a primary care doctor to get your care started. You select your doctor at enrollment, or one is automatically selected for you. This doctor’s name is shown in your member account and you can change it at any time. Start with your assigned primary care doctor or another one in the same medical group, so that medical care and services are covered by your health plan. Unless it’s an emergency, you’ll pay the full cost for your medical care if you don’t go to your primary care doctor first. • Coordinated Care. Your primary care doctor will provide all of your routine medical care (sick visits and wellness checkups), make all referrals to specialists, other providers or facilities, fill out paperwork when a pre-approval is needed and schedule any lab work or medical tests for you.

• Know Your Options for Urgent Care. If you need care right away, and your regular doctor isn’t available, consider using an urgent care center instead of the emergency room. These centers can usually save time and money on care for minor illnesses and injuries. Find one near you by logging into your member account at floridablue.com and checking the myBlue provider directory. In a true emergency, always go the nearest emergency room and you’re covered. • Earn up to $500. Better You Rewards gives you the opportunity to earn up to $500 toward your premium while you learn how to live a healthier lifestyle4. • $0 virtual visits with primary care doctors and behavioral health specialists5.

There’s no coverage outside of Florida, except for medical emergencies in an ER or for urgent care at a participating walk-in clinic.

Get Prescriptions at Walgreens Choose a Walgreens3 pharmacy any time you need a prescription filled. With myBlue, if you go to a different pharmacy, you will have to pay the full cost of your medication.

Go Generic for the Best Value Generic drugs have the same active ingredients as brand name drugs, but generally cost less. Your costs will be higher if you choose a brand name drug when a generic is available. You’ll pay $0 for: • Prescribed generic contraceptives and other preventive drugs • Generic drugs for diabetes, asthma, high blood pressure and high cholesterol provided by home delivery Before you get a prescription filled: • Find a Walgreens pharmacy3 • Check the ValueScript Medication Guide to find out if a drug is covered or needs approval first

In this example, you’d pay only $10 for a generic drug. If you choose a brand name drug when a generic is available, you’ll pay your brand copay plus the cost difference of the two drugs:
