[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 47153, member: 1967"] The rules may be different depending on the state you live in but I am covered through a BCBS HMO and the book that lists doctors specifically denotes which ones are not accepting new patients. So, here in GA anyway, a doctor can be part of BCBS but still refuse to accept new patients. I had left BCBS for a little while when we switched to husband's company's insurance. When he was laid off, we switched back to my insurance (BCBS). Our doctor had stopped accepting new BCBS patients in the meantime. Luckily for us, he did agree to accept us under BCBS since we already were existing patients although covered by different insurance. Trying to understand insurance policies makes my head spin!
