Did You Know That if You Are a PPO Member, You and Your Covered Dependents Can Access
In-Network Providers Across the U.S.?
Save Money With
These Steps

Did you know that faculty and staff have access to in-network healthcare providers regardless of where you and your covered dependents live across the country? Employees enrolled in any of edHEALTH’s PPO options can visit in-network doctors, hospitals, and other healthcare providers throughout the United States. This benefit is particularly helpful as how and where you work changes. Using in-network providers saves you money on deductible and other out-of-pocket costs.
