Overview
Savings on doctors, hospitals, and ancillary services (lab tests, x-rays, etc.) are offered through contracted medical PPO networks. With over 400,000 providers and 5,500 hospitals, our medical networks can boast coast-to-coast coverage.

Some networks simply offer a straight discount amount from a provider's cost. When you are dealing with a discount, there is often no way to tell if you are truly receiving any savings. For example, if you were buying an item, and the person you were buying it from did not have a "published" rate, what's to stop them from raising the price before applying your discount? Nothing. On the other hand, if there is a set fee schedule that already has the discounts built in, and someone to monitor the process, you would know that you are getting the agreed-upon discounted rate. That is the reason reputable medical PPO networks base their fees or charges on established fee schedules rather than on discounted percentages.

The medical networks utilize fee schedules based on CPT codes to determine the PPO allowable charges from doctors, labs, and most ancillary service providers.
