in-network

Insurance company's partners

In-network describes healthcare providers, facilities, or services that have contracted with an insurance plan to provide care at negotiated rates.

Using in-network providers typically means lower out-of-pocket costs for the patient: Check if your doctor is in-network before scheduling.

The opposite is out-of-network, where costs are higher or not covered at all.
