Go with the Green!

AMITA Health with St. Anthony and Little Company of Mary hospitals partnered with us to give us the best care at the best value. Make sure to find a new doctor in the Green!

Disclaimer: Some providers may not participate in the plan network at all locations where they practice. (That means a doctor could be in-network at one location but not at another.) If you visit a provider not in your plan network, you may pay more money. Call the provider before your visit to make sure they are in-network and the service is covered.

Stick with the Blue.

Make sure you get a PCP!  

What’s a PCP?

A family physician, internist, pediatrician, physician assistant or nurse practitioner.

Having a primary care provider (PCP) is a lot like having a great mechanic. They are the first ones you call—whether for routine service or bigger problems. They make sure all the doctors you see are working as a team. He or she knows you and makes sure you and your issues don’t fall through the cracks of an often-confusing system.

Prior Authorization and Forms

Certain types of care require “prior authorization” or approval. This helps us to keep costs low and forces doctors and nurses to talk better to each other about the care you receive.
