Under certain circumstances, members may obtain services from out-of-network providers. Newly eligible members who are undergoing an existing course of treatment under the care of an out-of-network provider at the time of eligibility may continue to obtain services from that provider until the member’s care is safely transferred to an in-network provider. Out-of-network providers with members under a current treatment plan must notify the health plan and request authorization of services as appropriate according to the Plan benefits. Once the health plan is notified that the member is under the care of an out-of-network provider, the provider must submit a request for authorization. All supporting clinical information must be provided to substantiate the continuation of the requested service(s). During this time existing care will not be interrupted until clinical information is reviewed for medical necessity and appropriateness. In the case where there may not be a network specialist available to the member, an out-of-network provider may be accessed at the discretion of the PCP.

Whenever you get a bill from an Out of Network provider that you think is more than you should pay, send us the bill. We will contact the provider directly and resolve the billing problem.
