Network

A Network is a group of providers which could be hospitals, doctors, labs, radiology centers, urgent care’s, etc., that have contracted with an insurance company on many things including pricing. So having a large network, of many choices for “providers” to choose from can be important. It’s always important, however, to make sure that you get “prior authorization” for services that require prior authorization, for certain tests, prescriptions and procedures. If you don’t get prior authorization for a procedure, test, or prescription, you may have to pay that bill in full out of your own pocket.
