The BlueCard Program

Whether you're traveling across the country or around the world, our unique BlueCard program helps members access physicians, hospitals, and health services across the nation and around the world.*

BlueCard is a national program that allows members to obtain health care services when traveling or living outside their Blue Plan service area. When Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Mexico (BCBSNM) members travel or live outside New Mexico, they'll have the same benefits as their BCBSNM Plan. More than 90 percent of all hospitals and 80 percent of physicians in the United States contract with Blue Cross and Blue Shield (BCBS) Plans. Outside the United States, members have access to doctors and hospitals in more than 185 countries and territories around the world through the BlueCard Worldwide® Program.
