MMC Benefits Handbook
Network
The Surest Copay plan uses the UnitedHealthcare Choice Plus Broad network which is available nationwide.
Is there a network of doctors and hospitals that I have to use?
Using the network is not mandatory, except in instances of infertility care, but generally, you will pay less out-of-pocket when using an in-network provider.
Copays will be higher when you use out-of-network providers.
In the event that you receive care from an out-of-network doctor (such as an anesthesiologist) while being treated at an in-network facility, benefits will be paid at the in-network level.
The network includes general practitioners, as well as specialists and hospitals. These network providers are selected by and contracted with the Claims Administrator.
There is a specialty network of providers specific to infertility treatments and services, through WINFertility ("WIN"). Please see the "Is there a network of providers for infertility-related treatments? for information on finding and utilizing in-network providers for infertility treatment and services.
Depending on the geographic area and the service you receive, you may have access through Surest's Shared Savings Program to non-Network providers who have agreed to discounts negotiated from their charges on certain claims for Covered Services, when applicable. Shared Savings is a program in which Surest Copay Plan may obtain a discount to a non-Network provider's billed charges. This discount is usually based on a schedule previously agreed to by the non-Network provider, and there's no balance billing in these instances. There are some instances where a non-Network provider may bill you for the difference between the billed amount and the rate determined by Surest Copay Plan. If this happens you should call the number on your ID Card.
Important Information about Network Providers
Surest is your Claims Administrator if you live within the United States.
You must access a Surest Copay Plan Network Provider in order to receive the Network level of benefits.
Where can I get a directory that lists all the doctors and hospitals in the network?
The doctors and hospitals in the network are listed in a provider directory. The Claims Administrator provides an online directory of providers or you may call the Claims Administrator.
Network provider lists can change, so take the time to review the networks to determine which networks your health care providers participate in before choosing a third party administrator and network.
Important: In-network participating providers can change at any time; therefore, the network information you gather may not be accurate for all or part of the plan year. You will NOT be permitted to change your medical plan election during the plan year, even if any or all of your providers stop participating in any network at any point during the plan year.
