Our guest asks:

I need to find a participating doctor in my area.

OnlineAdviser responds:

I understand that you are enrolled in or are considering enrolling in the Core Health Insurance plan. Although this insurance provides the same coverage for treatment with any doctor or hospital without regard for network participation, the out-of-pocket expenses and claim submission responsibilities for you can be lower when using a participating network provider.

Core Health Insurance uses the Beechstreet national PPO network. Please visit www.beechstreet.com then click the “Patient” tab. Use the block that says “Find a Doctor or Hospital” and giver the following two options:

• Search for a doctor or hospital near you.
• Print a personalized directory

The network search tool allows you to make further selection criteria like gender of the doctor, specialty, maximum distance from home, etc. to personalize your results.
