Additional Information
We make every effort to keep this list as accurate as we can for our larger health plans. Even so, it is possible that not every health plan and circumstance is addressed here. Please check with your health plan if you have any questions about coverage or specific products offered.
You can obtain the most accurate and timely information by calling your health plan or employer's benefits department and confirming your coverage level when choosing a PAMF physician.
Coverage for psychiatric and behavioral health services varies by health plan. Some plans have a "carve-out" for mental health care, meaning services are covered by a separate organization that the patient must contact directly.
Special note for POS, PPO, and Indemnity plans not listed:
You always have a choice of seeing a physician who is not listed in the PPO or POS directory. A copay and/or deductible may apply. Consult your benefits summary for details.
