Switching to a new health benefits plan can feel like navigating uncharted waters, especially when you've grown accustomed to your current healthcare providers. Meridio’s health insurance offering makes finding a provider a breeze with the MultiPlan PHCS network, boasting more than 1.4 million registered providers and facilities nationwide. 

Not seeing your preferred provider in the network? Nominate them to join anytime for your continued care. Whether you're looking to keep your current physician or needing to nominate a new provider to join our extensive network, the process is straightforward and designed with your convenience in mind. Here’s how it works:

Find a provider

To find a new provider or see if your existing provider is currently in network, visit https://www.multiplan.us/members/ and click on the “find a provider” button in the upper right hand corner of the menu bar. Alternatively, you can also click on the “find a doctor or hospital” button in the middle section of the web page to be taken to the same area.

Enter the network (the name of the network is listed on your medical insurance card underneath the Multiplan logo), provider or facility name/type, and city/state/zip code you’d like to search within. Select the search icon when complete to be provided with a list of in-network contacts in your area. You can also be provided with a list of in-network providers via phone by calling 1-800-922-4362.

Nominate a new provider

If your current provider is not currently in-network, you can nominate them to join anytime by visiting https://www.multiplan.us/members/ and clicking on the “invite your provider to join our networks” button in the middle section of the webpage. Indicate the type of provider you are nominating (individual practitioner, facility, or group of practitioners) and complete the form information as prompted. If you are unsure of the type of practice or need additional clarification on any of the items needed to submit the nomination, reach out to the provider directly to give them a heads up about the nomination and get these questions answered.

Once complete, select the green “submit” button at the bottom of the form to share the request with the network for contacting. MultiPlan PHCS will reach out to the provider with the request to join and will add them to the network if/when the provider accepts the request.
