Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Arizona has dramatically expanded the list of medical services and procedures a member may look up to view the average cost of care for such services.
As we all know it can be difficult to understand the total cost of medical care and surgical procedures. Blue Cross® Blue Shield® of
Arizona’s Treatment Cost Estimator provides the average expenses for care including routine appointments, out-patient services, and complex procedures.
To use the estimator tool login into your MyBlue account. (azblue.com/member. Click cost estimates for surgeries, visits, and more.)
You will be able to view the average cost of care in your area, everything from diagnosis through the follow-up visit.
The tool will also estimate your specific out-of-pocket costs for the treatment chosen based on the health insurance plan you have.
There will be a cost breakdown based on the treatment timeline as well.
The estimator tool will also point out where it may be possible to save money. Once you have created a treatment estimate it is a good idea to print it out and discuss with your doctor.
