&lt;p&gt;Picking the right doctor for your needs is important. There&amp;rsquo;s a lot to think about when deciding where to get health care &amp;ndash; cost, network, location and more. Your health plan gives you access to many kinds of providers. Before you go for care, make sure the provider is in your health plan network. Choosing a provider in your plan&amp;rsquo;s network can help keep your costs down.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Our resources make your search easier&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;If you have a Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois plan, search for providers in your network by logging in to your secure member account.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are two ways you can get there.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Download the &lt;a title="BCBSIL App" href="/ask-bcbsil/w/frequently-asked-questions/26/go-mobile-with-the-bcbsil-app"&gt;BCBSIL App&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;from the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a title="Apple App Store" href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bcbsil/id571088532" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Apple App Store&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img alt="leaving site icon" height="10" src="/cfs-filesystemfile/__key/communityserver-components-sitefiles/OpenNewWindow.png" width="10" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;or&amp;nbsp;&lt;a title="Google Play store" href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hcsc.android.providerfinderil&amp;amp;hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Google Play&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;img alt="leaving site icon" height="10" src="/cfs-filesystemfile/__key/communityserver-components-sitefiles/OpenNewWindow.png" width="10" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;You can get it in English or Spanish.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Log in to your &lt;a title="member account" href="https://mybam.bcbsil.com?utm_source=connect&amp;amp;utm_medium=internal&amp;amp;utm_campaign=connect_bam"&gt;member account&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once you are logged in, click on the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Find Care&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;section to:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Find in-network doctors, hospitals and other providers in your health plan&amp;rsquo;s network&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Search by specialty, ZIP code, language spoken, gender and more&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Compare quality and awards for doctors, hospitals and more&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Compare estimated costs for in-network providers*&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Find details about providers&amp;rsquo; certifications and recognitions&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;*Not all plans provide this information.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What are in-network providers?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Health care providers who have agreed to give care to you and other members in your health plan are called &lt;strong&gt;network providers.&lt;/strong&gt; They may also be called &lt;strong&gt;in-network&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;participating providers&lt;/strong&gt;. Those without a contract to provide care are out-of-network providers. Be sure to stay in network to save money with discounted rates.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Not a member or just want to search as a guest?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;If you&amp;#39;re not a BCBSIL member, you can still&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a title="search online as a guest" href="https://my.providerfinderonline.com/?ci=IL-UUX&amp;amp;corp_code=IL"&gt;search online as a guest&lt;/a&gt;. Before searching, have some information ready:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Name of the health plan you&amp;rsquo;re considering&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Your ZIP code, or the ZIP code of where you want care&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The type of care you need&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The doctor&amp;rsquo;s or facility&amp;rsquo;s name, if you have one in mind&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Picking the right doctor can seem overwhelming at times. You want to find someone you trust, who has an office close to you, with open appointment times. There&amp;rsquo;s also the added stress of choosing a doctor who is in your plan&amp;rsquo;s network so you don&amp;rsquo;t have to pay extra costs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How can I find a doctor who meets my needs?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;You have two options when searching for a doctor:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Provider Finder&lt;sup&gt;&amp;reg;&lt;/sup&gt; is a free tool to help you find a doctor or hospital in your network. Click on the link to access&amp;nbsp;&lt;a title="Provider Finder" href="https://my.providerfinderonline.com/?ci=IL-UUX&amp;amp;corp_code=IL"&gt;Provider Finder&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The BCBSIL App helps you find a doctor, hospital or urgent care facility. There are two ways to download the free BCBSIL App:
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Text BCBSIL APP to 33633&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Go to the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a title="Apple App Store" href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bcbsil/id571088532" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Apple App Store&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img alt="leaving site icon" height="10" src="/cfs-filesystemfile/__key/communityserver-components-sitefiles/OpenNewWindow.png" width="10" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;or&amp;nbsp;&lt;a title="Google Play store" href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hcsc.android.providerfinderil&amp;amp;hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Google Play store&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img alt="leaving site icon" height="10" src="/cfs-filesystemfile/__key/communityserver-components-sitefiles/OpenNewWindow.png" width="10" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;and download the BCBSIL App.&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Message and data rates may apply.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is Provider Finder?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The free tool lets you compare cost and quality when it comes to health care. It can help you with a number of your health decisions. Use it to:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Estimate the cost of hundreds of procedures, treatments and tests&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Determine if a Blue Distinction Center&lt;sup&gt;&amp;reg;&lt;/sup&gt; is an option for treatment&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;View patient feedback or add your own review for a provider&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Find details about providers&amp;rsquo; certifications and recognitions&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How does Provider Finder work?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;a title="Provider Finder" href="https://my.providerfinderonline.com/?ci=IL-UUX&amp;amp;corp_code=IL"&gt;Provider Finder&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;is very easy to use. All you have to do is:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Go to &lt;a title="bcbsil.com" href="https://www.bcbsil.com/"&gt;bcbsil.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Click on &amp;ldquo;Find Care&amp;rdquo; at the top&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Click &amp;ldquo;Find Doctor or Hospital&amp;rdquo;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Click &amp;ldquo;Search as a Guest&amp;rdquo;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a title="Choosing the right doctor" href="/my-coverage-explained/b/weblog/archive/2014/10/01/findadoctor"&gt;Choosing the right doctor &lt;/a&gt;can seem overwhelming at times. You want to find someone you trust, who&amp;rsquo;s close to you and has openings. There&amp;rsquo;s also the added stress of making sure they&amp;rsquo;re in your plan&amp;rsquo;s network so you don&amp;rsquo;t have to pay extra costs. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;What are the ways I can go about finding a doctor?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;You have two options when searching for a doctor:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Provider Finder is a free tool to help you find a doctor or hospital in your network. Click on the link to access&amp;nbsp;&lt;a title="Provider Finder" href="https://my.providerfinderonline.com/?ci=IL-UUX&amp;amp;corp_code=IL"&gt;Provider Finder&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The BCBSIL App helps you find a doctor, hospital or urgent care facility. There are two ways to download the free BCBSIL App:
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Text BCBSIL APP to 33633&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Go to the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a title="iTunes App Store" href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-doctors-find-provider/id573016251" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;iTunes App Store&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;or&amp;nbsp;&lt;a title="Google Play store" href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hcsc.android.providerfinderil&amp;amp;hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Google Play store&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and download the BCBSIL App.&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Message and data rates may apply.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is Provider Finder?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Our Provider Finder&amp;reg; now lets you compare cost and quality when it comes to health care.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What does Provider Finder do?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; It can help you with a number of your health decisions:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Estimate the cost of hundreds of procedures, treatments and tests.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Determine if a Blue Distinction Center&amp;reg; is an option for treatment.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;View patient feedback or add your review for a provider.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Review providers&amp;rsquo; certifications and recognitions.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How does it work?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;a title="Provider Finder" href="https://my.providerfinderonline.com/?ci=IL-UUX&amp;amp;corp_code=IL"&gt;Provider Finder&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;is very easy to use.* All you have to do is:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Select the state you live in&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-02/Find-a-Doctor-in-IL.png"&gt;&lt;img title="Find a doctor" alt="Find a doctor " src="/resized-image/__size/940x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-02/Find-a-Doctor-in-IL.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You also have the option to select Provider Type, Specialty or both&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-02/Find-a-Doctor-by-Specialty-IL-.jpg"&gt;&lt;img title="Search to find a doctor by specialty" alt="Search to find a doctor by specialty" src="/resized-image/__size/940x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-02/Find-a-Doctor-by-Specialty-IL-.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a title="Choosing the right doctor" href="/my-coverage-explained/b/weblog/archive/2014/10/01/findadoctor"&gt;Choosing the right doctor &lt;/a&gt;can seem overwhelming at times. You want to find someone you trust, who&amp;rsquo;s close to you and has openings. There&amp;rsquo;s also the added stress of making sure they&amp;rsquo;re in your plan&amp;rsquo;s network so you don&amp;rsquo;t have to pay extra costs. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;What are the ways I can go about finding a doctor?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/b&gt;You have two options when searching for a doctor:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;

&lt;li&gt;The BCBSIL App helps you find a doctor, hospital or urgent care facility. There are two ways to download the free BCBSIL App:&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is Provider Finder?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Our Provider Finder&amp;reg; now lets you compare cost and quality when it comes to health care.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;What does Provider Finder do?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; It can help you with a number of your health decisions:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Estimate the cost of hundreds of procedures, treatments and tests.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Determine if a Blue Distinction Center&amp;reg; is an option for treatment.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;View patient feedback or add your review for a provider.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Review providers&amp;rsquo; certifications and recognitions.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;How does it work?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href="https://public.hcsc.net/providerfinder/search.do?corpEntCd=IL1" target="_blank" title="Provider Finder"&gt;Provider Finder&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;is very easy to use.* All you have to do is:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a title="Choosing the right doctor" href="/my-coverage-explained/b/weblog/archive/2014/10/01/findadoctor"&gt;Choosing the right doctor &lt;/a&gt;is a big deal. You want someone nearby who you trust and is accepting new patients. Of course, you also want someone in your plan&amp;rsquo;s network to avoid paying extra costs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What are the ways I can go about finding a doctor?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;You have two options when searching for a doctor:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Provider Finder is a free tool to help you find a doctor or hospital in your network. Go to the following link to access&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://public.hcsc.net/providerfinder/search.do?corpEntCd=IL1" title="Provider Finder" target="_blank"&gt;Provider Finder:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The BCBSIL App helps you find a doctor, hospital or urgent care facility. There are two ways to download the free BCBSIL App:&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Text BCBSIL APP to 33633&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Go to the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-doctors-find-provider/id571088532?mt=8" title="iTunes App Store" target="_blank"&gt;iTunes App Store&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;or&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-doctors-find-provider/id571088532?mt=8" title="Google Play store" target="_blank"&gt;Google Play store&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and download the BCBSIL App.&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Message and data rates may appl&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p style="padding:0;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is Provider Finder?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our Provider Finder&amp;reg; now lets you compare cost and quality when it comes to health care.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What does Provider Finder do?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It can help you with a number of your health decisions:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Estimate the cost of hundreds of procedures, treatments and tests.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Determine if a Blue Distinction Center&amp;reg; is an option for treatment.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;View patient feedback or add your review for a provider.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Review providers&amp;rsquo; certifications and recognitions.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How does it work?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="Provider Finder" href="https://public.hcsc.net/providerfinder/search.do?corpEntCd=IL1" target="_blank"&gt;Provider Finder&lt;/a&gt; is simple to use.* All you have to do is:&lt;/p&gt;
