Certain Allegany County Members to Change Plans Effective July 1, 2023
Effective July 1, 2023, Commissioners of Allegany County members, with prefix AGU, have a new plan. These members are now covered under the BlueChoice Advantage with a Preferred Provider Network (PPO) overlay.
What does this mean?
All Commissioners of Allegany County members with prefix AGU can go to a PPO provider and receive in-network benefits within the CareFirst service area.
This also means that these members with prefix AGU have the flexibility to use a PPO lab and radiology providers without the restrictions of the BlueChoice product.
How do you identify impacted members?
Below is a copy of the new identification card that impacted Commissioners of Allegany County members received. As a reminder, always be sure to verify member eligibility and benefit information by logging into CareFirst Direct.
Important Note: Please do not turn away these members without verifying benefits and eligibility, as their plan can change. You should always verify benefits and eligibility using our self-service tools.
