Out-of-Network Coverage

Most of the time, the health care services that you get must be from a provider who is in Neighborhood INTEGRITY’s network. Sometimes, you may need to get care from a provider who is not in our network. There are some exceptions as to when you can receive care from an out-of-network provider and your services will be covered. Those exceptions are:

  • Emergency or urgently needed care.
  • Kidney dialysis services received at a Medicare-certified dialysis facility when you are temporarily outside of Rhode Island.
  • Family planning services.
  • The Continuity of Care (COC) period. The COC period is for members who were receiving a treatment or seeing a provider before having coverage with Neighborhood. Even if the provider or service is not in our network, your services are covered during the COC period.
  • During a declared disaster.
