EPO Blue

A health plan that’s simple to understand, easy to use. 

A wide variety of options of high-quality care.

With EPO (Exclusive Provider Organization) Blue, you employees have broad access to doctors, hospitals, specialists, and urgent care centers. Close to home. Coast to coast. Around the globe. 

How EPO Blue Works

Highmark EPO Blue members have coverage that goes where they go.

Getting in-network care

With EPO Blue, members must receive care from in-network providers. The network includes high-quality community hospitals as well as specialists — from women’s health to pediatrics, cancer care to neurology. 

Note, with EPO plans, members have no out-of-network benefits. That means if they go to an out-of-network provider, they’ll pay 100% of the cost. The exception is emergency care — it’s always covered at the in-network level.

A nationwide network

Members have access to the largest hospital and physician networks in the U.S. with more than 1.8 million providers, including 97% of all hospitals.This means that no matter where they are, they can always find a provider close by.

Worldwide coverage

Highmark members have access to top doctors, hospitals, and clinics around the globe. The Blue Cross Blue Shield Global Core® program offers coverage in 190 countries.*
