HealthLink is pleased to offer the Open Access III network program for the College Insurance Program Participants. With HealthLink Open Access III network program, you may use any participating physician or hospital in the HealthLink Tier I and Tier II networks. If you prefer to use an out-of-network practitioner, your benefit administrator still pays benefits - but keep in mind, you'll pay less out of pocket when you choose HealthLink participating physicians and hospitals. |
