Watch! This video to learn about how to save money on health care costs.

Use In-Network Providers

First, let’s define a network. It’s a group of doctors, labs, hospitals and other health care providers or facilities that your medical plan has contracted with at set payment rates—often called “eligible expenses,” “payment allowances” or “negotiated rates.”

You’ll pay less when you get care in-network, because your deductibles, copays and coinsurance are lower than if you visit out-of-network providers.

To find in-network providers, go to the medical plan’s website:
