Each Medical plan provides coverage for the same types of expenses, such as doctor\u2019s office visits, preventive care, prescription drugs and hospitalization. Most in-network preventive care services are covered at 100 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Under the Blue Choice PPO Plan, you choose a network provider each time you need medical care. The Blue Essentials HMO Plan uses a Texas-only network limited to doctors, specialists, and hospitals in your area. While the network is smaller, rest assured that Blue Essentials providers offer top-tier, quality and cost-efficiency. <strong>This plan is only available to those who live in Texas in a Blue Essentials network area.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Under the Blue Essentials HMO Plan, you receive no benefits from the plan if you use a non-network provider \u2013 you will be responsible for 100 percent of the cost for all care you receive. The only exception is if you have a true emergency and must go to the emergency room. The plan will then pay as if the claim were in network.<\/p>\n<p>To find providers in either network, you can visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bcbstx.com\">www.bcbstx.com<\/a> and click on Search as a Guest.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='hr av-7e2h6-cbe0ee8d95360579be64964cdaa60043 hr-default  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_buttonrow '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-buttonrow-wrap av-md96r1ha-7897c3dd1e82e584d353becd7af3a383 avia-buttonrow-center  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_hr  avia-builder-el-last '>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-md96px9k-e47a235394acf7ab333f3ff164147446\">\n#top #wrap_all .avia-button.av-md96px9k-e47a235394acf7ab333f3ff164147446{\nmargin-bottom:5px;\nmargin-right:3px;\nmargin-left:3px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<a href='https:\/\/my.providerfinderonline.com\/?ci=tx-blueessentials&amp;corp_code=TX&amp;network_id=240000009&amp;geo_location=29.477019634603195,-98.52599166583425&amp;locale=en' class='avia-button av-md96px9k-e47a235394acf7ab333f3ff164147446 avia-icon_select-yes-left-icon avia-size-small avia-color-theme-color' target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class='avia_button_icon avia_button_icon_left ' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue844' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'><\/span><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Look up PCP Number Online<\/span><\/a>\n<\/div><\/p><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-3ycpu-d59c1670fe39606bd68326dd98528212\">\n.flex_column.av-3ycpu-d59c1670fe39606bd68326dd98528212{\n-webkit-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n-moz-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_column av-3ycpu-d59c1670fe39606bd68326dd98528212 av_two_fifth  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_three_fifth  el_before_av_heading  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ll5m1v2x-c74020f3551c1240c97ceda7c50c0737\">\n.iconbox.av-ll5m1v2x-c74020f3551c1240c97ceda7c50c0737 .iconbox_icon{\nbackground-color:#c42032;\n}\n<\/style>\n<article  class='iconbox iconbox_top av-ll5m1v2x-c74020f3551c1240c97ceda7c50c0737  avia-builder-el-7  el_before_av_iconlist  avia-builder-el-first  main_color'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class=\"iconbox_content\"><header class=\"entry-content-header\"><div class=\"iconbox_icon heading-color\" aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue854' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'><\/div><h3 class='iconbox_content_title '  itemprop=\"headline\" >Blue Cross Blue Shield <\/h3><\/header><div class='iconbox_content_container '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p class=\"p1\">(888) 697-0683<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bcbstx.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.bcbstx.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><\/article><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-jv9m4793-99a383823ad31739fb1ad03a98668832\">\n#top .avia-icon-list-container.av-jv9m4793-99a383823ad31739fb1ad03a98668832 .iconlist_icon{\nbackground-color:#c42032;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-icon-list-container av-jv9m4793-99a383823ad31739fb1ad03a98668832  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_icon_box  avia-builder-el-last '><ul class='avia-icon-list avia_animate_when_almost_visible avia-icon-list-left av-iconlist-big av-jv9m4793-99a383823ad31739fb1ad03a98668832 avia-iconlist-animate'>\n<li><div class='iconlist_icon av-82xj3x-ec89f90228bc63825ec77f504e781fbf avia-font-entypo-fontello'><span class='iconlist-char' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue81f' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'><\/span><\/div><article class=\"article-icon-entry \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class=\"iconlist_content_wrap\"><header class=\"entry-content-header\"><h4 class='av_iconlist_title iconlist_title  '  itemprop=\"headline\" >Medical Plan Information<\/h4><\/header><div class='iconlist_content '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/278\/2025\/07\/25-26-MEDICAL-RATES-PLAN-HIGHLIGHTS.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">25-26 MEDICAL RATES &amp;
