Do you have a child attending school in another state? Does your job require you to travel? Do you and your family go away for vacations? As a Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Oklahoma (BCBSOK) PPO member, your health care benefit coverage goes with you wherever you live, work or travel.

  • More than 85% of all doctors and hospitals in the United States contract a Blue Cross and Blue Shield plan.
  • When you use a BlueCard PPO network doctor or hospital, you receive the highest level of benefits and, in most cases, the doctor or hospital will file the claim for you.
