Set – Choose Your Filter Options

Next, the Provider Directory offers three main filters to help you narrow your search to find a doctor or other provider type within your network:

  • The first filter helps to define “What kind” of care you need. For example, are you looking for a primary care provider? Or do you need lab or imaging services, or a durable medical equipment (DMEs) supplier?
  • The second filter narrows your search to “Where” you would prefer to receive care. You may select your home town, or in the case of specialty care, you may need to choose a larger city nearby.
  • The third filter can tailor your search with even more specifics for “Who” you’d like to see. For example, you may search for a provider who can speak your language or select other filter options.

The three filters can be used together or you may find you only need to one filter to find a provider.

What Is a Provider?

A “provider” can refer to a doctor, a facility providing services (such as a clinic, lab or hospital) or a supplier of medical products or equipment.

The first filter in the directory can help you find a provider type. By choosing one of the colorful buttons first, your options in the next field will be narrowed, making it much easier to find what you’re looking for.

In the first filter below, selecting the Primary Care button, narrows the options in the next field to four types of primary care providers.

What Is a PCP?

A primary care provider (PCP) is your main health care provider in non-emergency situations. They can support much of your care and refer you to specialists as the need arises.

What Is a DME?

A durable medical equipment supplier (DME) can supply medical equipment meeting specific criteria to support your well-being. You can learn more about DME Coverage for Medicare patients by visiting Medicare.gov.

What Is Behavioral Health?

Behavioral health addresses the “emotions and behaviors that affect your overall well-being.” Behavioral Health providers offer treatment for behavioral and emotional aspects of an individual’s health.

How Do I Find a Dentist? (IHN-CCO Members)

IHN-CCO members can now find in-network dentists by selecting the “Dentist” button to filter your search options. Search results can be further refined using the three “What,” “Where,” and “Who” search filters.

How Do I Find a Pharmacy? (IHN-CCO Members)

IHN-CCO members can find an in-network pharmacy by selecting the “Pharmacy” button to filter your search options. Search results can be further refined using the three “What,” “Where,” and “Who” search filters.

How Often Is the Directory Updated?

Provider information contained in this online directory is updated at the close of each business day, excluding interruptions to system maintenance, upgrades, or unplanned outages.

What Does It Mean When a Provider or Location Offers Auxiliary Aids?

Auxiliary aids are tools used for communication to support individuals with sensory disabilities. Common examples of auxiliary aids include interpretive services, assistive listening devices, or videotext displays. Reach out to the practice for more information regarding availability of auxiliary aids.

What Does “Gold Tier” Mean? (Samaritan Advantage Members)

Samaritan Advantage Premier Plan and Samaritan Advantage Valor offer Gold Tier benefits for some services. See the benefits chart in Chapter 4 of your Evidence of Coverage for more information. All providers in the Samaritan Advantage directory not labeled as Gold Tier are Silver Tier providers. This does not apply to other Samaritan Advantage plans and does not apply to IHN, Employer Group, or Choice plans.

 

How Do I Know What Plan or Network I Belong To?

Your insurance ID card will tell you which plan you are apart of. The plan you are a part of is in the top right of the ID card for most members. Members with “EPO” or “PPO” in the title (other than Choice members) will find their providers by searching the Employer Group directory.

What If There Are No Search Results for the Provider Specialty I Selected?
