Important Notes

Your out-of-pocket costs depend on the network status of your provider. To check status, call Blue Cross customer service or visit bluecrossmn.com/umnrfi.

Lowest out-of-pocket costs: in-network providers

Highest out-of-pocket costs: out-of-network nonparticipating providers (You are responsible for the difference between Blue Cross' allowed amount and the amount billed by nonparticipating providers. This is in addition to any applicable deductible, copay or coins. Benefit payments are calculated on Blue Cross' amount, which is typically lower than the amount billed by the provider.) 

This is only a summary. Read your benefit booklet for more information about what is and isn't covered. Services that aren't covered include those that are cosmetic, investigative, not medically necessary or covered by workers' compensation or no-fault insurance.

For more information, visit the Blue Cross website or call Blue Cross customer service at the number on the back of your member ID card.
