  • Eligibility
  • Member's financial responsibility: deductible, co-pay and co-insurance
  • Plan's policy for referrals, prior-authorization or precertification
  • Covered and non-covered services
  • Network status of providers

Specialty Networks

Insurance companies may utilize specialty networks for some services, including but not limited to: mental health, rehabilitation (therapy), eye and/or dental care.Please be sure to call your insurance company before making an appointment to confirm that both the hospital and provider are covered by your plan.
