PREFERRED PROVIDER ORGANIZATIONS
What Is A PPO?
Employees and their dependents are given
the opportunity to utilize physicians and hospitals who have agreed to
join networks which are called Preferred Provider Organizations (PPOs).
The plan member may choose to use a PPO provider or a non-PPO provider.
However, when the plan member chooses to see a PPO provider, the Plan
will normally pay benefits at a higher level. A directory of PPO providers
will be made available to the plan member at no cost through the claims
processing office or the employer's benefit office. The phone number to
call for PPO information can be found on the back of the member's identification
card.
How To Find a PPO Provider
You can look up the providers by name or location in your
area by clicking on the PPO Search button and following the instructions.
