Blue Cross maintains a user friendly website which can provide useful information including locating a "Prudent Buyer" provider.

This plan contains many important terms (such as "medically necessary" and "covered charge") that are defined in the definitions section. When reading through this booklet, consult the definition section to be sure that you understand the meanings of these words. If you have questions, contact Anthem Blue Cross.
