Why should I use in-network providers?

Where you receive care can greatly impact how much you will pay for healthcare services. By using an in-network provider, you will maximize your insurance coverage while keeping costly out-of-network expenses at bay.

PHP does contract for ancillary healthcare providers if they are employed by a provider practice currently contracted with PHP.  We do not contract directly with these providers.
