Benefits Value Advisors Save You Time and Money
You have a choice when selecting where to go for health care. Many times you can choose between different providers or facilities and receive the same procedure, at a lower cost. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX) Benefits Value Advisors are health care experts who use data, cost estimators, provider-finders and other tools to help you to get the most from your health care benefits.
Call a Benefits Value Advisor (BVA) today, for cost comparison information on:
- Imaging services (X-rays/MRIs/CT scans)
- Joint replacement surgery
- Back surgery
- Endoscopy and colonoscopy procedures
A BVA can also help you:
- Understand your benefits
- Find in-network providers
- Schedule visits
- Request reauthorization
- Access online educational tools
For example, if your doctor wants you to get an MRI of your knee, you can call a Benefits Value Advisor. The Advisor can tell you about several in-network MRI providers and the estimated cost for an MRI at each provider. This way, you will have more information when choosing where to go for your MRI. If you like, the Advisor can then schedule the MRI for you with the provider you choose, and help you with preauthorization.
Just call the number on the back of your BCBSTX member ID card to reach a Benefits Value Advisor (1-800-521-2227).
