Preferred Provider Networks
This Plan has entered into an agreement with certain Hospitals, Physicians and other health care providers, which are called Participating Providers, or In-Network Providers. Because these Participating Providers have agreed to charge reduced fees to persons covered under the Plan, the Plan can afford to reimburse a higher percentage of their fees.
Therefore, when a Covered Person uses a Participating Provider, that Covered Person will receive a higher benefit percentage from the Plan than when a Non-Participating, or Out-of-Network, Provider is used. It is the Covered Person’s choice as to which Provider to use. The PPO networks for this Plan are: Quad City Community Health Care - www.qcchealth.com or call 888-498-7224
Outside of the Quad City Area: PHCS - www.multiplan.com or call 866-680-7427
