A plan\u2019s network consists of doctors, specialists, clinics, hospitals, pharmacies, and other health care providers. Your health care costs will be significantly lower if you use providers that are within your network.<\/p>\n

Some plans allow you to use providers outside the network, but you\u2019ll pay more. While other plans don\u2019t cover out-of-network services at all, and you\u2019ll pay the entire cost. For full details about the cost of a plan, including costs for specific medical services and prescriptions, review the plan coverage documents.<\/p>\n

How do I choose a network?<\/h4>\n

If you already have a doctor, clinic, or another provider that you like using, check to see which plans include that provider. Or if you want to use a provider that\u2019s convenient, search for providers near your home or workplace. You can also simply browse the networks.<\/p>\n

To find a provider either call the plan directly or use the plan\u2019s online search tool:<\/p>\n
