As a Blue Plan, Highmark's provider network has always been one of our strongest selling points. Whether in their backyard or on the other side of the planet, our members can find the quality care they need. 

BlueCard^® is a program that connects independent Blue Plans across the country, with access to the largest physician and hospital networks in the U.S. and over 1.7 million providers, including 95% of all hospitals.* When members travel, they are covered in 190 countries through the Blue Cross Blue Shield Global^® Core program.*

With BlueCard^®, members take their healthcare benefits with them. BlueCard^® is a national program that enables members obtaining healthcare services while traveling or living in another Blue Plan's area to receive all the benefits of their contracting Blue Plan, and access to providers and savings. Across the country and around the world, the BlueCard^® program provides members with access to doctors and hospitals almost everywhere.

All Blue Cross and/or Blue Shield Medicare Advantage PPO Plans participate in reciprocal network sharing. This network sharing allows all Blue Plan Medicare Advantage PPO members to obtain in-network benefits when traveling or living in the service area of any other Blue Medicare Advantage PPO Plan, as long as the member sees a contracted Blue Medicare Advantage PPO provider.

For 2022 BCBSA updated its Visitor/Traveler language relative to states included in Medicare Advantage PPO Network Sharing participation. Among these updates is the inclusion of six Maryland counties (Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Baltimore City, Carroll, Harford, and Prince George's), which have been added to the network for 2022. See below for the full confirmed language for 2022:
