PPO What is a preferred provider, and how does using one affect my benefits?
A preferred provider is a member of a network of health providers that has agreed to accept discounted fees for their services. Using a preferred provider will generally assure that you receive the best benefits for your health care dollars. Since changes in network participation can occur, it is important to verify that your health care provider is a current participant prior to receiving medical services. Verification can be obtained by contacting the network directly. You can also log into BPA’s website and go the “Benefit Information” page. Clicking on the logo of the PPO network shown on that page will take you to the PPO’s website. If you need additional assistance or verification, contact a BPA Customer Service Representative at 800-236-7789.
