Can the member go to a non-network provider?
Yes, under a PPO, the member has out-of-network benefits. Generally, the UNICARE PPO Health Plan covers the same health services whether he/she receives them in-network or out-of-network. The member will, however, usually pay higher out-of-pocket costs for out-of-network care. This is only a brief summary of the plan. Please refer to the certificate of coverage for more detailed information about the plan including benefits, conditions, limitations and exclusions.
