What is BlueCard?
BlueCard is a national program from Blue Cross Blue Shield that allows members of one local BCBS plan to access in-network care and providers in other states. If you’re enrolled in BlueCard, you can see BlueCard clients in any state where you’re actively licensed.

On the Rates page, only one BlueCard plan will be shown. This rate applies to all BlueCard plans in all states you are licensed.
