healthcare networks
Organized provider groups
Healthcare networks are organized systems of medical providers, hospitals, and facilities that coordinate to deliver patient care.
Insurance plans contract with specific networks, determining which doctors and services are covered: Is your specialist in-network?
Patients who go out of network typically pay higher costs.
Networks may also refer to professional associations or information-sharing systems among healthcare organizations.
