Provider Network

A World of Choices

Your membership gives you a world of choices. Whether you need care here in the United States or abroad, you'll have access to health care in more than 190 countries.

With a provider network this comprehensive — more than 1 million physicians as well as provider facilities, hospitals and other care centers — most of your care needs are covered in-network, which means savings for you.

Connecting You to the Best Care

For the best health, you need the best care that’s centered on your unique needs, delivered at the right place at the right time. CareFirst has programs which focus on the relationship between you and your doctor whether a physician or nurse practitioner. These programs provide your doctor with a more complete view of your health needs, enabling him/her to use this information to better manage and coordinate your care, a key to better health.

24/7 Care When Your Doctor is Unavailable

First Help — free 24-hour nurse advice line
Call anytime to speak with a registered nurse. Nurses can provide you with medical advice and recommend the most appropriate care.

CloseKnit Virtual Care
See a doctor 24/7 without an appointment. You can consult with a board-certified doctor whenever you want on your smartphone, tablet or computer

Continuity of Care

If you are in the middle of treatment or the last trimester of pregnancy and your doctor doesn’t participate with CareFirst, you may be eligible for our Continuity of Care process. This process allows you or your dependents to receive care from out-of-network providers for up to 90 days. Complete the Continuity of Care form  and submit it to CareFirst to determine if you qualify for this process.
