“How much will it cost?” Estimates help you avoid surprises when the bills come.

Costs for a medical procedure — like an ultrasound, a checkup, x-rays or joint replacement — can vary by hundreds of dollars. Our Shopping for Care feature includes cost estimates to help you find the right care at the right price. (Cost information might not be included for all plans.) Estimate your out-of-pocket expenses for medical procedures and compare pricing details that show you the most cost- efficient providers.  At www.SouthCarolinaBlues.com , you’ll log in to your My Health Toolkit account.  Select Providers & Services , then Find Care . As you explore the Find Care categories further, you’ll see a Cost Estimates tab that’s loaded with price information about hundreds of procedures, from mammograms and MRIs to allergy testing, sleep studies, physical therapy and various types of surgery.

TIP: When you get your member ID card, use your ID number to create your My Health Toolkit account. Then you’ll see cost information about copays and other details specific to your health plan.
