Your Medical Network Options

Both the HD and Primary medical plans give you the flexibility to choose from two in-network provider networks. While both networks provide access to quality healthcare and are covered at in-network benefit levels, you can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs by choosing Memorial Hermann providers, which offer a lower deductible and enhanced plan benefits.

  • Lower annual deductible than the Cigna network
  • Access to Memorial Hermann hospitals, physicians, specialists, urgent care centers, and outpatient facilities
