What does Network mean?
The doctors, facilities, and other providers that contract with a plan.
Illustration — not a plan price
Verify a provider in the current directory and with the provider's office before care; network status can change.
The actual plan document controls. Verify its definitions, network, exclusions, dates, and amounts before relying on the illustration.
