National vs. Regional Plans

National and regional plans offer you choices of different cost-sharing arrangements, premiums and networks.

  • National plans have access to a large network of providers throughout the country (see the "General Information" row in each summary for specifics). These plans are the best option if you or your family members live outside Washington, D.C., Maryland or Northern Virginia.
  • Regional plans use the BlueChoice network of participating doctors, specialists and hospitals available only in Washington, D.C., Maryland and Northern Virginia for in-network coverage. These plans are not recommended if you or your family live outside this area.

Getting Care

Remember that CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield national plans are recognized by doctors all across the United States even though you enrolled through DC Health Link. It's important to let your provider know you are a member of CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield.
