Your health is important. You want to keep up your health and treat any sickness. And you need a health plan that will help you do it.

Here’s three reasons women want to choose Blue.

Reason No. 1 - Your Choice of Doctors

No matter which BCBSOK health plan you select, you’ll have many providers to choose from, such as your choice of an in-network OB-GYN. And with a large number of Oklahoma doctors and hospitals participating in our networks, chances are very good that your current health care providers are included.

Before committing to a plan check Provider Finder^®  to see if the doctor or OB-GYN you’d like to use is a part of the health insurance plan  you’d like to buy.

Shop Plans and Products. All plans have similar benefits, and all include essential health benefits and preventive services for women. Where they differ is on how the costs of the benefits are applied.

Women’s Preventive Services
Our health plans cover the following types of recommended screenings and preventive services for women with no out-of-pocket costs—as long as you visit a doctor in your health plan's provider network. Finding a doctor that provides these screenings and services should be no problem, since we have the largest network of doctors in the state.

• Annual wellness visits
• Mammograms
• Pap smears
• Osteoporosis screenings
• Certain cancers and diabetes testing
• Gestational diabetes screenings
• Testing for Human Papillomavirus (HPV) — the virus that can cause cervical cancer
• FDA-approved contraception methods and counseling
• Counseling and screening for HIV—the virus that can cause AIDS
• Breastfeeding support, counseling and supplies – such as manual and electric breast pumps
• Interpersonal and domestic violence screening and counseling
• Counseling for sexually transmitted infections
• Immunizations such as annual flu shots

You read that right! Manual and electric breast pumps are covered by your insurance when you use an in-network provider . When you become a member, call the number on the back of your member ID card for more details. A  Customer Advocate will work through the details of which pumps are covered and how you can get your pump.

And if pregnancy isn’t for you right now, there are more than 20 different contraceptives that are covered by your health plan, including birth control pills, injections and patches, along with well-woman check-ups.
