Beginning January 1, 2027 if you reside in Georgia, Iowa, or Wisconsin your medical network will change and it's important to understand which providers are included in your network.
If You Live In GEORGIA
You will transition to the Blue Open Access Point Of Service (POS) network for all in-state services. When receiving services outside the state of Georgia, you will continue to seek care from the BlueCard PPO (also known as the Wellmark Blue PPO). You'll receive a new ID card in late December indicating your new 2027 network affiliation- please be sure your providers get this information. Questions about your new Blue Open Access POS network can be found in this document: FAQs- GA Blue Open Access POS
To locate a Blue Open Access POS provider please visit www.wellmark.com/find-care/providers-and-facilities. Do not login to your current account; instead scroll down the page and next to Provider click "Find a Provider". Enter your location, and when prompted for a three letter prefix, use "RUR". From there you may search by provider name, specialty, location or type.
If You Live In IOWA
All four Ruan medical plans will now utilize the Wellmark Blue Point Of Service (POS) network for all in-state services. Services outside the state of Iowa are considered out-of-network and therefore subject to a higher deductible, higher out-of-pocket maximum, or may not be covered unless the services are deemed a true emergency. You'll receive a new ID card in late December indicating your new 2027 network affiliation- please be sure your providers get this information. Note: dependents living outside the state of Iowa may qualify for a Guest Membership that will allow access to an out-of-network provider through an Indemnity Plan network; requires prior approval by Wellmark.
