## Medicare networks

When it's time to visit a doctor or hospital, it's important to choose one that is part of your Blue Cross Medicare plan network.

A provider network is made up of all the doctors and hospitals that participate in your plan.

Plans with prescription drug benefits have a pharmacy network.

### Is your doctor in network?

Using a doctor in your network can help you save money. You’ll want to confirm your doctor, hospital or clinic is in your plan’s network before you get care.

You will need to enter the first three characters of your member ID, which can be found on the back of your Blue Cross member ID card, or select a network from the drop-down to see providers in your network.
