    Find healthcare providers in your plan's network

    The “Find a Doctor” tool lists doctors, other healthcare professionals, hospitals, and facilities that are part of our network. To access it, log in to your online account and click “Find a Doctor.” You will be able to search for a provider in your plan’s network by name, type (area of specialization), or distance from your location.

    It’s always good to find out if providers are in your plan’s network before you see them. Providers who are not in your plan’s network may not be covered by your plan. That means you may be responsible for paying the bill in full.

    You can also call the number on the back of your member ID card to see if a provider you’re planning to see is in your network.
