Question: My doctor wants to know how to get into the Covered California network.
Answer: Once again, there is no Covered California provider network. Your doctor must contact the provider services department for each qualified plan within Covered California - Blue Shield, Anthem Blue Cross, Health Net, Kaiser, etc. The Blue Shield Provider Services phone number is 800-258-3091. I try to get the other carriers’ numbers and post them here.

Is it just where I live, or Is Blushield website a piece of junk?
The website list of doctors is full of mistakes to the point where is cannot be used. I got a so called list of correct Doctors emailed to me by a blueshield rep and some doctors on the list do not take the insurance. I talked to another rep from Blueshield and got a different list of doctors to see from the first rep’s list.
I went to the office manager of one doctor office and we talked to blueshield who told us that the doctor was in network. I saw the NP at the office, and Blue Shield won’t the pay doctor.
Well, I won’t pay for Blueshields mistake either. I told the doctor to sue Blue shield.
I hate this insurance and I am canceling it . In won’t add another insurer. I am not paying for something that I cannot use. period.
