Employers want their employees to be happy with their health care coverage. That means making a large network of doctors and hospitals available to them along with comprehensive coverage. But it’s important to find ways to keep health care costs affordable. Tiered physician networks like Harvard Pilgrim’s ChoiceNet are designed to do just that—lower premiums by encouraging member choice through physician and hospital tiering.
The premise of tiered physician networks is simple: you offer your employees choice. They choose their doctors from one of three tiers, each with a different level of cost sharing. When your employees see doctors in Tier 1, they pay less than when they visit Tier 2s or 3s, with Tier 3 offering the highest cost sharing. By addressing the reality of medical care cost differences through the tier designations, your employees get the information they need to make informed decisions about their health care.
Harvard Pilgrim’s tiered physician networks include thousands of participating doctors and clinicians, plus more than 130 hospitals, who have met our high standards for providing quality care. That way your employees can focus on choosing the doctor who’s right for them.
There are providers and hospitals in all tiers who’ve earned the distinction of being named to Harvard Pilgrim’s Honor Roll, which recognizes local providers whose performance meets high quality, best-in-class industry standards. The tiered physican network is offered alongside Harvard Pilgrim’s health plans to give you the network configuration and coverage that helps to balance the cost and quality of care.
If you think a tiered physician network might be right for you, we can help. Because in addition to supporting your employees as they choose the right providers for them, we help employees and their families with care managers when they need them most. Members also have access to a personal health coach when they’re ready to set personal goals and live a healthier lifestyle.
