     Question As long as I stay In-Network, I get the best price, right? 
    Wrong. In-network prices can vary by hundreds or thousands of dollars. For example, if your primary care physician says you need an arm x-ray, in-network pricing can vary by hundreds or thousands of dollars.

    Question When my doctor orders a test for me, I have to go where I am referred. 
    Wrong. There are procedures that can be performed in different locations, with no loss in quality, for a much lower cost. These are routine procedures like MRIs, X-rays, colonoscopies and CT Scans. 

    Depending on the location, an MRI can cost as little as $600 or as much as $5000+

    • Wouldn’t you drive a few miles to save a few thousand dollars? You have the choice about where to get care - make sure you’re getting the best value.

     question How do I get a referral to a Fair Price™ facility? 
    Download the Healthcare Bluebook mobile app and you can shop for prices and locations while you are with your doctor. Together, you can decide which location fits both your budget and your medical situation.
     

    question What is Go Green to Get Green?

    No. You are eligible for a reward simply by searching for the procedure on the HCBB website or contacting the HCBB toll-free number.  Once you receive services from a green provider/facility for the procedure, Healthcare Bluebook will process your reward if the procedure has been determined to be eligible for rewards.

    Healthcare Bluebook does not share information about individual employees, or the services received by your employer. All health care information is kept confidential.
