New for participants with Kelsey-Seybold primary care providers (PCPs) on file with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas: You can now participate in both on-site and virtual Catapult Health clinics and access medical and mental health Virtual Visits through Doctor On Demand® and MDLIVE®.

Kelsey-Seybold Limited Provider Network

If you live in the Houston area and select a primary care provider (PCP) in the Kelsey-Seybold Limited Provider Network, you can see any provider within the Kelsey-Seybold network without a referral on file with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX). However, it’s important you stay within the Kelsey-Seybold network for all of your care, including specialist appointments, radiology services and outpatient lab work. Exceptions to this include on-site and virtual Catapult Health clinics and Virtual Visits (see below).

Occasionally, a Kelsey-Seybold provider may recommend a referral to a provider outside of the Kelsey-Seybold network. If this occurs, the Kelsey-Seybold provider must submit a referral to BCBSTX. Participants should confirm they have an approved referral on file with BCBSTX before seeing the provider they were referred to. If a referral is not on file when the participant sees the non-Kelsey-Seybold provider, the participant will receive out-of-network benefits, which can result in higher out-of-pocket costs.

If you have a Kelsey-Seybold PCP and want to see a doctor or other provider in the BCBSTX HealthSelectSM medical plan network who is not affiliated with Kelsey-Seybold, you can call BCBSTX to change your PCP. It will be effective immediately.
