Interested in Becoming A MedCost PPO Provider?
MedCost, LLC was established in 1983 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
MedCost offers two major health care cost management programs:
• MedCost Preferred - a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO).
• MedCost Health Management - a comprehensive care management program including
inpatient utilization review, outpatient review, case management, disease management,
and the SmartStarts prenatal program.
A Preferred Provider Organization, or PPO, is a network of selected
providers of health care: physicians, hospitals, home health
agencies, ancillary providers,
and others. MedCost Preferred is a traditional PPO, giving patients a financial
incentive or disincentive in their benefit plan that encourages them to seek
care from participating providers. MedCost is not an insurance company.
MedCost often contracts with providers via sub-networks. For
example: All chiropractors are contracted through Chiropractic
Network of the Carolinas
and most physical
therapists are contracted through Rehability Associates Network (RAN).
We also contract with providers through certain Physician
Hospital Organizations,
Independent
Physician Associations, and Physician Organizations. If you are currently
a member of an organization or association, please contact them first
see if
they have
contracts with MedCost.
If you would like to join the MedCost Preferred PPO network,

area, you

invited
