Your plan contracts with a wide range of doctors, as well as specialists, hospitals, labs, radiology facilities and pharmacies. These are the providers in your “network.” Each of these providers has agreed to accept your plan’s contracted rate as payment in full for services. Before picking a plan, we will first determine if your preferred doctor or clinic is “In-Network”. This will help us decide which company to go with. Keep in mind that Subsidized Affordable Care Act plans that are “On The Exchange” have VERY limited networks.
