  • Find a Provider: Search by name, specialty and/or location, get details about hospital affiliations, if they're accepting new patients and more. Referrals are not required to see network specialists. Both Basic and Standard plan members use the BSW Premier HMO network.

Your Member ID card

Your card contains important information including your plan name, member ID number, copay/coinsurance amounts and customer service phone numbers to call if you have questions.

Be sure to always show your new Member ID card to your provider, even if your coverage has not changed. You may have a new Member ID number or a phone number may have changed. Your provider will need this information to confirm coverage and process your claims.

TIP: Once your new card is in effect (any time after Jan. 1, 2025), take it to your pharmacy counter so your account will be up to date the next time you need a prescription. This simple step can save you time and frustration in the future.

FYI: There's a new name coming to your ID card: Capital Rx

Effective Jan. 1, 2025, BSWHP is changing our Pharmacy Benefits Administrator to Capital Rx. They will oversee your prescription benefit plans on behalf of BSWHP. Together we will work hard every day to ensure your prescription plan is cost-effective while never losing sight of our ultimate mission: YOUR HEALTH.

Make Informed Choices

Our Procedure Cost Estimator can help you plan for future expenses and make informed choices about where to receive care. You can research any treatment (like chemotherapy) or procedure (such as a colonoscopy) in any of our in-network facilities, and receive a breakdown of all potential costs, including physician fees, laboratory tests, and medications. You can also see progress toward meeting deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums.

Try it! Simply log into the member portal and use the menu at the left to select the Cost Estimator.

The calculation for out-of-pocket expense is for the current plan year and is a good-faith estimate based on the information members provide. Actual out-of-pocket expenses may vary depending upon many factors, including the intensity of the condition, the complexity of treating the condition, or the medical provider. Estimates are given for procedures performed by in-network providers.
