Your Care, Your Choice

Did you know that many common tests and treatments performed in a hospital can be easily done at a more convenient and lower-cost location?Choosing a non-hospital location could mean you can get an appointment sooner, it might be closer to home, or perhaps the location is just easier to visit.

We believe that the cost and convenience of care is a priority, and we want to make it more affordable and accessible for you wherever possible.When you use a non-hospital setting for some services, you also help lower the overall cost of health care. This allows us to provide more affordable, quality services you have come to expect from your Presbyterian Health Plan.

Visit lower-cost care facilities when getting tests and procedures

When you need to get imaging (e.g. an MRI), labs, or some surgical procedures, search for the lowest-cost facility.
