You must use those “covered professional providers” or “covered facility providers” that are Preferred providers for FEP Blue Focus in order to receive benefits. Benefits are not available for care from Non-preferred providers, except in very limited situations. Please refer to page 18 for the exceptions to this requirement. Refer to page 13 for more information about Preferred providers.

You can also get care for the treatment of minor acute conditions (see page 131 for definition), dermatology care (see page 39), and counseling for behavioral health and substance use disorder (see page 86), and nutritional counseling (see pages 41 and 44), using teleconsultation services delivered via phone by calling 855-636-1579, TTY: 711, or via secure online video/messaging at www.fepblue.org/telehealth.
