With multiple plan types and options, we have coverage that’s right for every group and every member. Our network gives you access to more of the best doctors, specialists, and hospitals in your neighborhood and around the globe than any other. We’ve also negotiated great rates with these providers, which means everyone pays less for a higher quality of care.
- Local 39-County Network: More than 98% provider participation within these counties, including all major hospitals and strategic physician groups
- National Network: In-network benefits with more than 1,200,000 practitioners and 5,600 hospitals throughout the United States through the PHCS/Multiplan system
Also, we know that going to the doctor’s office isn’t always an option, so our plans allow employees to access care and support right from home through telehealth, telemedicine, and the Wellframe® app. Learn more about these convenient tools in Tools & Resources.
