MCHCP contracts with Mercy Health Plans to offer two benefit designs:
PPO -
The Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plan features the freedom to choose care
from any physician, specialist or hospital. There are no referrals needed when accessing
specialist care. Members are able to access non-network providers with benefits covered
at reduced level.
POS - The Point of Service (POS) plan allows members the choice of
receiving services from network or non-network providers. If services are received
within the plan’s network of providers, the member is responsible for set copayment
amounts. If services are obtained from non-network providers, the member is responsible
for a deductible and coinsurance amounts.
