How can I make sure my hospital is in-network?

It is not only important to look at whether your healthcare provider is in your network, but also what hospitals in your area are in-network.

Your network is determined by your health plan. The network for one health plan may differ from the network of another health plan. Knowing which network you have and which healthcare providers, hospitals, and clinics are in your network is an important part of making sure you get the most from your health plan.

To see if a specific healthcare provider or hospital is considered in-network for a given plan, you can check the health insurance company’s website, call the company’s customer service number, or, if the plan is offered through the Marketplace, check the provider directories available on healthcare.gov when shopping for a plan.
