Blue Distinction Centers for Complex and Rare Cancers®

Our Blue Distinction Centers for Complex and Rare Cancers program was established in 2008 to help members make more informed decisions in selecting a quality hospital for the treatment of specific complex and rare forms of cancer. Selecting a hospital with a Blue Distinction designation is not required.

A list of hospitals currently designated as Blue Distinction Centers for Complex and Rare Cancers along with the types of cancers covered by the designation is available using the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association Blue Distinction Center Finder.

Please note that Blue Distinction Center designations are subject to change. For more information about the Blue Distinction Centers for Complex and Rare Cancers, visit the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association Web site.

BCN Advantage HMOSM members, please visit the BCN Advantage Blue Distinction Centers for Complex and Rare Cancers page.

Designation as Blue Distinction Centers means these facilities met objective criteria established in collaboration with expert clinicians’ and leading professional organizations’ recommendations. Individual outcomes may vary.
