Be sure to have your policy number available in case of emergencies.
Members are always free to use providers outside of the GeoBlue Community. In this case, a member would pay for outpatient services and submit a claim to GeoBlue. Upon request, GeoBlue will make their best effort to guarantee payment directly to a non-contracted facility.
*Direct Billing may not be available in all situations
