Medical Plan
Q: What does "in-network" mean?
| |
A: An in-network provider is a physician, facility, or other
provider that has agreed to supply covered services to their members.
When a Covered Person uses an in-network provider, that Covered Person
will receive a higher payment from the Plan than when an out-of-network
provider is used. |
Q: What does "out-of-network" mean?

A: An out-of-network provider is a physician, facility, or
other provider that has not contracted with the selected medical plan.
Covered Persons are responsible for charges over the fee schedule amount
when an out-of-network provider is used. |
