Medical Mutual updates directory information about physicians and other office-based providers when new information is supplied by a provider. The directory is typically updated on a daily basis. Hospital accreditation information updates are received monthly. Certain information about physician training, such as medical school, accreditations, board certification and licensure, are verified through a credentialing process that includes confirmation with the issuing body or the state that issued the license. Credentialing occurs when a provider joins the network and then every three years.

Accreditation
Accreditation indicates whether a hospital has applied for and met certain criteria relative to quality of care performance from the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), the DNV National Integrated Accreditation for Healthcare Organizations (NIAHO) or the Healthcare Facilities Accreditation Program (HFAP). To earn and maintain accreditation, organizations must have an extensive on-site review at least once every three years to evaluate performance in areas that impact a patient's care. Accreditation shows that an organization is committed to ongoing efforts to improve the quality of care provided to patients. The accreditation is verified directly with the accrediting organization prior to inclusion in this directory and at least every three years thereafter.

The information on this Web site and any links are for your information only and does not take the place of, or is intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment from your doctor. Any services recommended or provided by your doctor may not be covered under the terms of your benefit plan. Eligibility and coverage are subject to the specific terms of your benefit plan.
Please note: Some in-network hospitals may employ hospital-based providers, such as laboratories, anesthesiologists, radiologists and emergency room physicians, who are not in your plan’s network. Hospital-based providers are on-site providers who perform medical services within a hospital or health center setting.
A hospital-based provider who is not in network can charge you more than what we pay and you could be billed for the difference (up to the entire cost of the service). This is called balance billing.
Whenever possible, please contact your provider(s) before making an appointment. Verify the provider participates in your plan’s network, and, if applicable, is accepting new patients. Also, prior to services, discuss any applicable facility fees that you will be charged, and responsible for with your provider.
Always seek care for a life-threatening emergency at the hospital nearest to you, regardless of the network status of the hospital or its hospital-based providers. In emergency situations, we will pay your plan's highest level of benefits on the allowed-amount for services provided. This may still result in balance billing.
