This online directory lists ${ProviderDirectoryPlanName} network providers. For detailed information about your health care coverage, please see your Evidence of Coverage.
The directory tool lets you search for:
You may have to select a product or plan name to complete the search.
The ${planType} network providers in this directory have agreed to provide you with your health care services. You may go to any of these network providers. However, some services may require a referral.
If you’ve been going to one network provider, you don’t have to continue to go to that same provider. In some cases, you may get covered services from out-of-network providers.
For some plans, you may have to choose one of our network providers to be your primary care physician (PCP). (We’ll often use the term "PCP" throughout this directory.)
You can also find a list of pharmacies that offer Part B and Part D drugs in your pharmacy directory. Check with your pharmacy to see if they offer the services you need to fill a prescription.
We make updates ${dirUpdates}. Updates may also be affected by interruptions due to system maintenance, upgrades or unplanned outages.
Please contact your provider before you schedule an appointment or receive services. Confirm that they still participate in our network.
For information on ${ProviderDirectoryPlanName} network providers in your area, just call us toll-free at 1-800-282-5366 (TTY: 711), ${hours}. You can also visit us on ${website}.
If an out-of-network provider sends you a bill, don’t pay it. Instead, send it to ${company} Medicare to process it. We’ll determine your cost-sharing amount, if any. Our claims/billing address is on your member ID card.
Certain network health care services, such as hospitalization or outpatient surgery, require prior authorization from ${company} Medicare. This means that ${company} Medicare must approve the service before the plan will cover it. Check your Evidence of Coverage for a list of services that require prior authorization.
If you need services that require prior authorization, have the network provider contact us. The provider is responsible for getting prior authorization from ${company} Medicare before treating you.
Some plans include an out-of-network benefit. If yours does and you decide to receive covered services from an out-of-network provider, ask the provider to contact us for prior authorization for those services.
If you need emergency care, you’re covered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, anywhere in the world. Whether you’re in or out of an ${company} Medicare service area, please follow these guidelines when you think you need emergency care:
You’re covered for emergency and urgently needed care. You can always get emergency care from the closest available provider, in or out of the service area. HMO plan members must use providers in their network service area for urgent care, unless these providers aren’t available. When you’re out of the service area, you can get urgent care from the first available provider.
You can get urgent care from:
We’ll review the information that the provider who supplied your care submits to us. We may need more information if the nature of the urgent or emergency issue doesn’t qualify for coverage.
Your PCP should coordinate all follow-up care. For HMO plans, we may cover follow-up care with out-of-network providers if you meet these two requirements:
If your plan requires a referral, you must get one before we’ll cover any follow-up care. This applies whether you were treated inside or outside your ${company} Medicare service area. If your HMO plan doesn’t require a referral, you should call us toll-free at 1-800-282-5366 (TTY: 711), ${hours} before you get follow-up care at out-of-network facilities. You can also visit us at ${website}.
Examples of follow-up care include:
We’ll cover in-network and out-of-network follow-up care after emergencies for PPO plans, under the terms and conditions of your plan.
${company} contracts with provider organizations called an Independent Practice Association (IPA) or a Physician-Hospital Organization (PHO). An IPA/PHO is an association of independent providers. It may include hospitals, primary care doctors and specialist doctors, who together provide health care services.
${company} uses several IPAs to provide you with health care services. If you choose a primary care physician (PCP) associated with an IPA/PHO, they’ll refer you for health care services and specialist care within their IPA/PHO.
You’ll need to use our dedicated network of local providers. We work closely with them to coordinate your care. If you have the Prime HMO plan, you’ll have to pay for out-of-network care.
With the Prime PPO plan, we’ll pay for part of your out-of-network care, but you may pay more out of pocket. If you need urgent or emergency care, or get out-of-area kidney dialysis, we’ll cover it even if the provider isn’t part of the Prime network.
You’ll have to choose a primary care physician (PCP). You can find a network doctor in this directory.
Your PCP will issue referrals to participating specialists and facilities for certain services. For some services, your PCP is required to obtain prior authorization from ${company} Medicare.
You’ll need to get a referral from your PCP for covered, non-emergency specialty or hospital care, except in an emergency and for certain direct-access service. There are exceptions for certain direct-access services.
You must use network providers, except for:
If you get routine care from out-of-network providers, Medicare and ${company} Medicare won’t be responsible for the costs.
You’re not required to choose a primary care physician (PCP). You don’t need a referral to visit network providers to receive covered services. Although you’re not required to select a PCP, we encourage you to do so.
You must use network providers, except for:
If you get care from an out-of-network provider, your plan won’t cover their charges. Medicare and Aetna Medicare won’t be responsible either.
You have the flexibility to receive covered services from network providers or out-of-network providers. Out-of-network/non-contracted providers are under no obligation to treat ${company} Medicare members, except in emergency situations. For a decision about whether we’ll cover an out-of-network service, we encourage you or your provider to ask us for a pre-service organization determination before you receive the service. Please call us or see your Evidence of Coverage for more information, including the cost share for out-of-network services.
Although you don’t have to choose a primary care physician, we encourage you to do so. If you receive covered services from an out-of-network doctor, it’s important to confirm that they:
