I'm aware of that more than most. Just about all providers accept BC/BS. But your advice is excellent, especially for anyone doing bargain shopping for obscure plans. Many have narrow panels of participating physicians, and even more so for specialists. These plans generally have lower rates because they lowball reimbursement rates. Most providers will not participate in a plan that pays 30-40% less than their competition, and the ones who do, well.....another case of res ipsa loquitur
