The BlueCard® Program

Traveling across the country or around the world? The BlueCard Program* helps Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Montana (BCBSMT) members:

  • Get needed health care when you travel or live outside your Blue Plan service area
  • Get the same benefits as your BCBSMT plan when you travel or are away from home for an extended amount of time
  • Find a doctor or hospital throughout the United States — More than 90% of all hospitals and doctors in the U.S. contract with Blue Cross and Blue Shield (BCBS)
  • Find a doctor or hospital outside the U.S. in more than 200 countries around the world through Blue Cross and Blue Shield Global Core

BlueCard coverage varies for each BCBS Plan. It depends on if you choose a provider who contracts with BCBS. Be sure to call Customer Service at the number on the back of your member ID card before you travel.

If you are already a BCBSMT member, log in to Blue Access for MembersSM to find more information about BlueCard.

* The BlueCard Program is not available for Medicaid, Medicare Advantage or Medicare Part D plan members.
