4. Will BMM fund the hospital, physician, or both?

Yes, BMM can definitely fund both the hospital and physician as long as they are both on our provider list. If the hospital is in our plan but your client’s physician is not, BMM can still fund the cost of the hospital; and if the physician is in our plan but the hospital is not, BMM can still fund the physician cost. If the provider does not appear on our list, then BMM cannot assist with funding. However, just fill out our referral section on the website with the information on the provider or call us at 225-448-2591, and we will do our best to honor the request.
