New Provider Search Pages

GOOD NEWS - We have listened and responded to your suggestions about the OHC website.
Here are the new enhancements:

Mile radius-Searches can now be done by zip code and mile radius from 5 to 100 miles. This search is from the middle of the selected zip code.

Provider office directions-Once a search is completed, there is an opportunity to drill down further on any provider by “clicking” on their name. This will provide the provider’s address and phone number. Then there is a selection to view a map and obtain directions to the provider’s office.

OHC now has preferred providers. These are providers who have been selected for their quality and pricing in their respective specialties. These providers will appear first on any network search for their designated specialty.

OHC now has network-wide providers. These are providers who can provide their services to any member in the OHC network regardless of their address.
