Your health is important. You need a health plan that will help you stay on top of it and take care of any illnesses right away.

Here’s three reasons so many people choose BCBSNM.

Reason No. 1: Your Choice of Doctors — Plus Coverage for Preventive Care

No matter which BCBSNM health plan you select, you’ll have a large number of providers to choose from. This includes a trusted network of OB-GYN doctors, men’s health specialists and pediatricians. With so many participating doctors and hospitals, chances are very good that your current providers are part of one of our networks.

Before choosing a plan, you can easily check to see if the doctor, medical group or individual practice association you use is a part of the health plan you’d like to buy.

You can shop plans to find one that’s right for you. All plans have similar features. They all include essential health benefits and preventive care services for adults and children of all ages. They only differ in the way the costs of benefits are applied.

Some examples of preventive care services covered by our plans are yearly wellness exams, recommended vaccines and screenings for things like diabetes, cancer or depression.

Check the latest health guidelines so you know what to expect at your doctor visits:
