With a Medicare PPO plan, you have the right to choose in-network or out-of-network doctors. This means you can select any doctor who accepts Medicare beneficiaries. Plus, unlike HMO plans, Network Health does not require a referral from your personal doctor to see specialists.

Co-owned by Froedtert Health and Ministry Health Care, a part of Ascension Wisconsin, we understand the importance of quality health care, and we believe it should be convenient. With roots in northeast Wisconsin and new partnerships in southeast Wisconsin, we’re able to offer access to a large network of high-quality providers.

Network Health contracts with high-quality doctors, hospitals and facilities that are included in this search as in-network providers. In addition, with a Medicare PPO plan, you have the freedom to choose any doctor who accepts Medicare beneficiaries.

For contracted providers and facilities, Network Health (NH) obtains provider's data, (i.e., name, gender, office location, board certifications, specialty, hospital affiliations, medical group affiliations, accepting new patients, and languages spoken) on the credentialing application and validates it every three years as part of the re-credentialing process. Additionally, the Provider Informatics department contacts the provider offices on a quarterly basis to update the above information. Updates to the provider directory are completed within 30 days of receiving new information.

We will provide you with information to help you make informed choices, such as physician’s and health care professionals' credentials. This information, however, is not an endorsement of a physician or health care professional's suitability for your needs.

The providers available through this application may not necessarily reflect the full extent of Network Health contracted providers. There may be providers or certain specialties that are not included in this application that are part of our network. If you don't find the provider you are searching for, you may contact Customer Service at 800-769-3186. We also recommend that, prior to seeing any physician, including any specialists and mental health providers, that you call the physician's office to verify their participation status and availability, since a provider's availability to see new patients may change frequently.

Some network providers may have been added or removed from our network after this directory was updated. We do not guarantee that each provider is still accepting new members.

Network providers help you and your covered family members get the care you need. Your plan may have limitations regarding accessibility and referrals to specialists, as well as other restrictions imposed by your provider network. Access to specialists may be coordinated by your personal doctor.

You are strongly encouraged to contact us to verify the status of the providers involved in your care including, for example, the anesthesiologist, radiologist, pathologist, facility, clinic or laboratory, when scheduling appointments or elective procedures to determine whether each provider is a participating or nonparticipating provider. Such information may assist in your selection of provider(s) and will likely affect the level of co-payment, deductible and amount of co-insurance applicable to care you receive. The information contained in this directory may change during your plan year. Please call the Customer Service phone number at 800-769-3186 to learn more about the participating providers in your network and the implications, including financial, if you decide to receive your care from nonparticipating providers.
