You may search for your present doctor via this portal or find a new one near you. This is one of the largest networks of physicians in the country. Understand that Doctors, over time, come and go in and out of networks. Please check to see if your doctor is still in this network. Otherwise choose a new physician from this portal. * After you choose a physician(s) for you and your family and purchase the health care through Thin Blue Line Benefits website, call that doctors office and register as a new patient. Wait until your policy becomes effective. You will receive notification and a card.

Instructions:

This portal, for now, is just to see which providers are near you. You do not need to select a physician at time of enrollment.

After clicking the link above, you will arrive at the first screen. In the top right corner, click ” FIND A PROVIDER.”

Then click ” OK.” On the next screen click on ” Select Network” and choose “MULTIPLAN.”

Enter your zip code and select one one of the provider types. Such as family practice. Now you can scroll down and browse through the doctors.
