If we want the most value for our health care dollars, a little research is in order.
It’s no surprise that costs can vary greatly depending on where you go for care. For example, the cost of an MRI might vary between $845 and $5,468 – depending on the provider. Knee replacements can range from $16,997 to $55,155.
And higher cost doesn’t always mean better quality. By doing some research before you get care, you may be able to lower your out-of-pocket costs.
Cost sample amounts compiled from allowable in-network cost data for providers within a 50-mile radius of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Costs are examples and may not apply to every member’s situation.
We offer tools to help you make your health care choices. Our Provider Finder® tool makes it easy to find a doctor or hospital in your health plan's network and compare their costs*.
To access the Provider Finder tool, log into Blue Access for MembersSM at bcbsnm.com and go to Find Care. Or use the BCBSNM mobile app. The app is available in English and Spanish for iPhone and Android users. Download the BCBSNM app from the iTunes App Store or Google Play.
