4 Hospital and Provider Structure Hospitals The current Horizon Hospital Network identifies hospitals that have opted to participate as Preferred Tier 1 hospitals which will give Horizon Advance EPO members who access care at Preferred Tier 1 hospitals a lower cost share than those who use other hospitals in the network. PCPs – (Internal Medicine, Family Practice, Pediatrics, General Practice, Geriatrics, OB/GYNS) The majority of PCP’s are included. 1 Specialists Will include a subset of Managed Care providers; selection of the subset will be based on 1) cost efficiency metrics; 2) privileges at a Tier 1 hospital; 3) referral patterns to a Preferred Tier 1 hospital; and 4) access requirements. Specialties Not Evaluated: Managed Care providers with specialties outside of the 22 evaluated for efficiency will be automatically included in the network 1. 1 The exception will be providers belonging to a mixed specialty group which was not chosen for inclusion in Horizon Advance EPO.
