At Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota, we believe that educating consumers about their health care empowers them to find the best care to fit their needs. That’s why we created our “Find a doctor” web tool and continue to enhance our capabilities to make health care more transparent.
The easy-to-use Blue Cross “Find a doctor” application includes:
· Physician and hospital quality
· Cost data on over 150 common procedures
· Physician recognition
· Blue Distinction Centers®
· Patient reviews of physicians
· Mobile-enabled site
· English (Spanish is coming soon!)
All available at no additional cost to the member!
Our tools are powered by data collected through all Blues plans, which provides cost and quality data from 96 percent of hospitals and 92 percent of doctors nationwide. Members can compare quality and costs, read and write reviews on providers and hospitals and make more informed choices. And, we have some great new features coming your way this year.
Stay tuned for additional communication about our updated transparency solutions, including a webinar invitation, as we continue to help our members make the most informed health care decisions.
