Blue Card PPO Network
The Blue Card PPO Network is a network of hospitals and physicians throughout the United States that participate in their local BlueCross BlueShield PPO networks. Blue Card PPO providers will provide medical care to Lineco participants at negotiated rates.
- When you use Blue Card PPO hospitals and doctors for your medical care, you save money twice. First, because the rates charged by PPO providers are usually lower, and second, because the Plan will pay a higher percentage of your covered expenses.
- Please note that Blue Card providers are Lineco's preferred providers, but you are not required to use them-the choice of a hospital and a doctor is solely yours to make.
- Show your Blue Card I.D. card whenever you receive medical treatment—even if the treatment is provided by a non-network provider.
