1. Use a participating laboratory. As a BlueChoice member, you may receive services from any laboratory in or out of the network. However, you will have the lowest out-of-pocket costs when you receive covered services from a participating laboratory.

2. Find a participating lab near you. There are a number of participating Preferred Patient Care (PPC) and Traditional lab providers, including Quest Diagnostics. Finding a conveniently located participating PPC or Traditional lab is easy using our online provider directory located at www.bcbsfl.com, or call the customer service number on your member ID card.

3. Ask your physician to complete the appropriate laboratory requisition form. The right form can save time. It enables the laboratory to correctly identify the tests your physician wants performed. It avoids any confusion caused by handwritten orders on a prescription pad, which often require further clarification from your physician’s office. Finally, it helps ensure results will be reported back to the correct physician in a timely manner.
