The following MedStar entities have notified us that are leaving our network, effective immediately:
Your Agreement with us requires you to use participating providers whenever possible. If you currently refer our members to MedStar for non-emergency transport, please start referring them to an in-network ambulance company instead.
Members can still use MedStar for emergency (911) services. They’ll be responsible for the costs according to their plan.
For | Services are |
---|---|
HMO members and those who don’t have out-of-network benefits | Not covered for non-emergency care. |
Members with out-of-network benefits | Significantly more expensive than they would be if received from an in-network provider. For example, members will be responsible for deductibles and co-insurance, as well as for the difference between what MedStar charges and what Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts pays. |
To find an in-network ambulance provider, go to Find a Doctor.
