Provider Networks refer to a group of healthcare providers, including doctors, hospitals, and other medical facilities, that have contracted with a health insurance company to provide services to its members. These networks are designed to deliver healthcare at negotiated rates, which often result in lower costs for both the insurance company and the insured individuals. Providers within a network typically agree to accept the insurance company’s payment terms and conditions. The two main types of provider networks are Exclusive Provider Organizations (EPOs), which require members to use the network’s providers for coverage, and Preferred Provider Organizations (PPOs), which offer more flexibility, allowing members to visit out-of-network providers at a higher cost. The purpose of provider networks is to streamline care, control costs, and ensure that patients have access to quality healthcare services.
