Providence Health Plans (PHP) is pleased to be among the carriers selected to provide health insurance to Oregon school district employees, ESDs and Community Colleges. Our medical plans offer rich benefits at competitive prices with Oregon-based, friendly and fast customer service.
Type of Medical Plans
PHP offers two Point of Service (POS) medical plan options that feature choice, generous benefits and extra values. POS plans are unlike HMOs: members may receive care from in-plan and out-of-plan providers.
Receiving Care from Providers
Although we encourage members to receive care from a Primary Care Physician (PCP), they may receive care from any licensed physician, including out-of-plan providers. Providence Health Plan, however, pays higher benefits when care is received from a PCP or an in-plan provider who contracts with Providence Health Plan.
Providence Health Plan Advantages
- Choice. Our medical plans are Point of Service (POS) plans, not HMO plans. Members can choose to receive care from in-plan and out-of-plan providers.
- Access. Members have access to a broad statewide and national network of providers and facilities anywhere members or early retirees live and travel. We are adding to our provider network regularly to ensure that members can access the services and care they need when and where they need it.
