Stay in Your Network
Control costs by staying in your network. Your plan includes both in-network and out-of-network coverage, but you will pay more when you visit an out-of-network doctor or hospital.
Be proactive about staying in your network by visiting bcbsla.com/blue-connect to find a doctor or hospital in your network. Blue Connect members have access to Ochsner Health Network (OHN) and other participating providers. While the Blue Connect product is offered only in the Lafayette, New Orleans and Shreveport areas, Blue Connect members may also access Blue Connect network providers located in other parishes.
