Step 4: Find a Provider
Date: 10/30/17
Picking the right provider is one of the most important choices you will make about your health care. But finding the right one can take some work.
Here are four steps to find a provider you can trust:
- Identify providers in your network. You can check Ambetter.mhsindiana.com or call Member Services for help. If you want to stay with your current provider, you can call their office and ask if they accept your coverage.
- Ask around. Friends or family may have advice. You also can look up some providers online to see what other people think of them.
- Pick a provider. Call the doctor’s office and ask questions. You should find out things like whether they are taking on new patients and if your schedules match.
- Give them a try.
It may take more than one visit to find out if you picked the right provider for you. You may also need to see more than one kind of doctor if you have special health needs.
