What is an in-network provider?

An in-network provider is a healthcare provider in Delaware that has agreed to a contract with a health insurance company and is thus part of the insurance company’s network of physicians, hospitals, and other healthcare providers. By using an in-network provider, you can receive health services for a lower out-of-pocket cost than if you used an out-of-network provider. In-network providers must adhere to the rates, terms, and conditions of the contract they have with the health insurance company. They cannot charge you more than the insurance plan allows and must accept the insurance company’s payment as payment in full. These providers are also typically more accessible since they are usually within a reasonable geographic area of the health insurance company’s customers. In-network providers are an important part of health insurance law in Delaware as they give customers more options and lower out-of-pocket costs for their healthcare needs.
