Blue Distinction^® Specialty Care

Choosing a Hospital

We understand that finding care from carefully screened providers is important. That's why the Blue Distinction^® program was created. This program identifies hospitals and medical facilities that have a proven track record for delivering better results.

There are two types of Blue Distinction recognitions:

• Blue Distinction Centers: Hospitals that have proven their ability to meet high standards of specialty care.
• Blue Distinction Centers+: Hospitals that are recognized for meeting high standards of care and for delivering cost-effective care.

Note: Designation as Blue Distinction Centers means these facilities' overall experience and aggregate data met objective criteria established in collaboration with expert clinicians' and leading professional organizations' recommendations. Individual outcomes may vary. To find out which services are covered under your policy at any facilities, please call the customer service phone number on the back of your Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas member ID card.
