36 • Contact Member Services to ask for a list of Doctors and Providers that participate in this Plan’s network, based on specialty and geographic area. Member Services can help you determine the Provider’s name, address, telephone number, professional qualifications, specialty, medical school attended, and board certifications. • Check with your Doctor or Provider. Please note that not all In-Network Providers offer all services. For example, some Hospital-based labs are not part of our Reference Lab Network. In those cases you will have to go to a lab in our Reference Lab Network to get In-Network benefits. Please call Member Services before you get services for more information. If you need details about a Provider’s license or training, or help choosing a Doctor who is right for you, call the Member Services number on the back of your Member Identification Card. TTY/TDD services also are available by dialing 711. A special operator will get in touch with us to help with your needs. Please note that we have several networks, and that a Provider that is In-Network for one plan may not be In-Network for another. Be sure to check your Identification Card or call Member Services to find out which network this Plan uses. Continuity of Care If your In-Network Provider leaves our network for any reason other than termination for cause, retirement or death, and you are in active treatment, you may be able to continue seeing that Provider for a limited period of time and still get In-Network benefits. “Active treatment” includes: 1) An ongoing course of treatment for a life-threatening condition, 2) An ongoing course of treatment for a serious acute condition (e.g., chemotherapy, radiation therapy and post-operative visits), including chronic illness or condition that is degenerative, potentially disabling, or congenital and requires specialized medical care over a prolonged period of time, 3) An ongoing course of treatment for pregnancy and through the postpartum period, 4) A scheduled non-elective surgery from the Provider, including receipt of postoperative care from such Provider or Facility with respect to such a surgery, 5) An ongoing course of treatment for a health condition for which the Physician or health care Provider attests that discontinuing care by the current Physician or Provider would worsen your condition or interfere with anticipated outcomes, or 6) Continuing care benefits for Members undergoing a course of institutional or Inpatient care from the Provider or Facility and/or determined to be terminally ill and is receiving treatment for such illness from such Provider or Facility. An “ongoing course of treatment” includes treatments for Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders. In these cases, you may be able to continue seeing that Provider until treatment is complete, or for 90 days, whichever is shorter. If you wish to continue seeing the same Provider, you or your Doctor should contact Member Services for details. Any decision by us regarding a request for Continuity of Care is subject to the Grievance and External Review Procedures process. Termination of Providers You will be notified of the termination of Provider and/or Facility contracts in your Plan’s Service Area.
