Technology closes
information gap
 Soon your treating physicians will have secure online access to your health records1 from any location. We are placing at their fingertips a consolidated view of health care claims showing what medical services you have received.

This information supports improved patient care and safety, and can help eliminate unnecessary duplicate medical procedures. That can prove invaluable as you and your doctors discuss treatment options, particularly in the aftermath of a catastrophic event. Certain information will not be shared, in accordance with state and federal rules. This includes HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases and claim information associated with mental health and/or substance abuse conditions.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida is the first health insurer to bring a payer-based health record to Florida. We want your doctors to have the tools necessary to offer you personalized service and care. It’s another way Blue can help you.

First offered this year in the Tampa area, the capability will be available statewide in 2007. Before implementation in your area, you will receive more detailed information, including how you can restrict use of this service for yourself and/or family members.

1 We have complied with all applicable privacy and electronic security laws.
