Do I need to
go to a specific doctor or hospital if I need medical
attention?
Person insured under the VISIT
Travel & Medical Insurance Plans may choose to
be treated within or outside of the provider Network
(PPO). You are not required to go to the PPO Network of
doctors to obtain coverage. The Claims office will
pay any provider and/or can reimburse you directly for
any covered benefit. The PPO network consists of
hospitals, doctors and other health care providers
organized for the purpose of delivering quality health
care at affordable rates.
Using a network health care provider
will save you money by getting negotiated rates for
service instead of full rates. It also provides a better
channel of communication between your insurance company
and the service provider for authorization of coverage
and claims processing. Make sure to carry your medical
insurance card on you at all times.

If an emergency:
• Go directly to the hospital, or call 911 for
emergency response • Call the 24-hour assistance service center at
the number listed on your ID card to alert the
center of your situation.
If not an emergency:
• Go to your student health center for health
services • If you do not have access to a student
health center, you can go to a doctor of your choice, or
you can refer to the BEECHSTREET website www.beechstreet.com

assistance service center whose number is listed on
your I.D. card to help find a provider. Please
be sure to let the doctor's office know that you are
part of the BEECHSTREET NETWORK.
Any
fees charged over the reasonable and customary rate
will be your responsibility.
