In-network labs

Pay less with in-network labs

  

As a Blue Cross NC member, you’ll get a discounted rate for covered services at both in-network and out-of-network labs. But, depending on your member health plan, you may pay more when you use an out-of-network lab.  

Members and their doctors should choose in-network labs, whether they're free-standing or based in a hospital, because we’ve negotiated the best rates with laboratories that are in our network. 

Here’s how in-network labs save you money compared with out-of-network labs:

Save money on your lab work

Here are two ways to save: 

  1. If your lab sample is taken at the doctor's office, ask your doctor to use an in-network lab for testing.  
  2. If your doctor sends you to a lab for a test, ask your doctor to use an in-network lab.
