Cosmetic Surgery Blue is BCBSNC's information and discount resource for cosmetic surgery. Through this program, eligible BCBSNC members can receive a discount on cosmetic surgery procedures at participating Cosmetic Surgery Blue network physicians across North Carolina. Cosmetic Surgery Blue also provides a convenient online resource that gives you easy access to information about cosmetic surgery.

Cosmetic Surgery Blue is designed to discount services that are not typically covered by insurance. Examples of these types of services include rhinoplasty, facelifts and liposuction. Members will receive a 15% flat rate discount on the physician's regular surgical fees. Since cosmetic surgery charges are typically divided into three parts (surgery, anesthesia and facility), your discount will apply to the surgery portion only. If you have further questions on what is and is not covered, consult your participating Cosmetic Surgery Blue physician.

Choosing to have cosmetic surgery is a decision that requires careful thought and preparation. If you have your initial consultation but ultimately decide not to have the procedure, your Cosmetic Surgery Blue 15% discount will still apply to the initial consultation fee. Even better, if you do decide to have the procedure, the entire initial consultation fee is applied toward the total cost of your surgery. Either way, you save money.

In order to be participate, Cosmetic Surgery Blue network physicians must have the following qualifications:

1. Must be a credentialed BCBSNC plastic surgeon
2. Must be a member of one of the following two leading plastic surgery organizations:
   • The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS)
   • The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS)
3. If the Cosmetic Surgery Blue participating physician has a surgical suite within their office, it must be licensed or accredited by one of the following:
   • The Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC)
   • The American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF)
   • The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO)
   • The State Licensure for North Carolina Ambulatory Surgical Facilities
