Understanding In-Network Insurance Coverage

In-network insurance coverage means your health insurance company has a contract with certain healthcare providers, including mental health and addiction treatment centers like Enhance Health Group. These providers agree to offer services at a discounted rate, which is why your out-of-pocket costs are lower when you see them. Essentially, it’s a partnership that benefits you, the patient.


Types of In-Network Insurance Plans

There are a few main types of insurance plans you’ll encounter. While they all aim to make healthcare more affordable, they work in slightly different ways:

  • HMO (Health Maintenance Organization): These plans typically require you to choose a primary care physician (PCP) who will then refer you to specialists, including mental health professionals, within the network. Without a referral, your care may not be covered.

  • PPO (Preferred Provider Organization): This type of plan gives you more flexibility. You don’t need a referral to see a specialist and you can see providers outside of the network. However, your costs will be significantly higher for out-of-network care.

  • POS (Point of Service): A POS plan is a blend of an HMO and a PPO. You’ll need to choose a PCP, but you can see out-of-network providers for a higher cost.

  • EPO (Exclusive Provider Organization): EPO plans are similar to PPOs but don’t cover out-of-network care except in emergencies.


In-Network vs. Out-of-Network: What’s the Difference?

The key difference between in-network and out-of-network care comes down to cost and coverage.

  • In-Network: When you receive care from an in-network provider, you pay a lower cost for deductibles, copays, and coinsurance. Your insurance company covers a larger portion of the bill because they have a pre-negotiated rate with the provider.

  • Out-of-Network: When you see an out-of-network provider, the insurance company has no contract with them. This means you will likely have to pay more out of pocket, and a smaller percentage of the total cost will be covered by your plan. This can lead to unexpected and significantly higher bills.

Choosing an in-network provider like Enhance Health Group can save you thousands of dollars while ensuring you receive quality, comprehensive care.
