The release window opens 2026-05-10, so an earlier citation would not show here. A month's rate is the share of all monitored answer runs that month that cited this domain. The latest month is still collecting. | Month | Cited runs | Observed runs | Rate | |---|---:|---:|---:| | October 2026 | 2 | 16,496 | 0.01% | | November 2026 (to 2026-11-11) | 0 | 3,966 | 0.00% | ## By Answer Engine An engine's rate is its cited runs over every monitored run that engine answered in the window. Engines answer different numbers of runs, so compare rates, not counts. | Engine | Cited runs | Engine's observed runs | Rate | |---|---:|---:|---:| | [Perplexity](https://machinerelations.ai/index/engines/perplexity) | 2 | 9,257 | 0.02% | | [ChatGPT](https://machinerelations.ai/index/engines/chatgpt) | 0 | 9,137 | 0.00% | | [Claude](https://machinerelations.ai/index/engines/claude) | 0 | 9,177 | 0.00% | | [Gemini](https://machinerelations.ai/index/engines/gemini) | 0 | 7,326 | 0.00% | | [Google AI Mode](https://machinerelations.ai/index/engines/google_ai_mode) | 0 | 2,198 | 0.00% | | [Google AI Overviews](https://machinerelations.ai/index/engines/google_ai_overviews) | 0 | 1,354 | 0.00% | Since August 31, 2026, bcbs.com is cited in none of 992 observed Google AI Mode runs. Google AI Mode's collection changed between August 10, 2026 and August 30, 2026, so its row above pools both sides of the change. Since October 7, 2026, bcbs.com is cited in 2 of 4,488 observed Perplexity runs (0.04%). Perplexity's collection changed between October 6, 2026 and October 7, 2026, so its row above pools both sides of the change. ## Peers bcbs.com holds its best segment rank, #151 of 387, in Healthcare Services / Comparisons, at 0.79%. 77 sources on that leaderboard share that rate, and their order inside the tie is not a measured difference. Listed here: the nearest sources cited more and less often than it, and the sources beside it that share this best segment.

It links to this profile and updates with every new release; if a later release no longer includes this domain, the badge stops loading.

It excludes internal query identifiers, raw cited URLs, and answer-engine provider payloads. MRI measures observed root-domain citations in monitored prompts; it does not measure all AI answers, recommendation quality, website traffic, or commercial performance. A citation does not prove source support, and MRI confidence is not an Answer-Source Fidelity grade. ## Related Sources - [Machine Relations Index](https://machinerelations.ai/index) - [Public JSON artifact](https://machinerelations.ai/data/machine-relations-index.json) - [Release manifest](https://machinerelations.ai/data/mri-release-manifest.json)
