Introduction

This directory provides a list of Simpra Advantage’s network providers (doctors, hospitals, facilities, other services, or pharmacies).  To get detailed information about your health care coverage, please see your Evidence of Coverage (EOC).

You may choose one of our network providers listed in this directory to be your Primary Care Provider (PCP).  Generally, you must get your health care services from your PCP. Your PCP works in collaboration with your Simpra Advantage Nurse Practitioner to help assure you receive seamless, patient-centered care.

The network providers listed in this directory have agreed to provide you with your health care services.  You may go to any of our network providers listed in this directory; however, some services may require a referral. To obtain a referral, please contact your PCP or Nurse Practitioner.

Out-of-network providers are under no obligation to treat Simpra Advantage enrollees, except in emergencies.  For a decision about whether we will cover an out-of-network service, we encourage you or your provider to ask us for a pre-service organization determination before you receive the service.  Please call our Member Service Department at 1-844-637-4770, seven days a week (except Thanksgiving and Christmas) from October 1 through March 31 and Monday to Friday (except holidays) from April 1 through September 30.  TTY users should call 1-833-312-0044. You may also visit Simpra.com to view your Evidence of Coverage (EOC) for more information, including the cost sharing that applies to out-of-network services.

Please note: If you receive a bill from an out-of-network provider, you should not pay the bill, unless you have received an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) from Simpra Advantage that details what the plan will pay for your service, and any remaining balance you need to pay. The out-of-network provider may also bill you for any remaining balance not paid by Simpra Advantage.

If you have already paid for the covered services, Simpra Advantage will reimburse you for our share of the cost, if prior approval is obtained. If you have any questions, visit Simpra.com or call Member Services at 1-844-637-4770. TTY users should call 1-833-312-0044.

Payment for services is contingent upon:

1. The services you received are included in Simpra Advantage benefits as outlined in the Evidence of Coverage (EOC).
2. The provider, or medical facility, you received services from is eligible for payment from Simpra Advantage.
3. The service(s) meet requirement for medical necessity and authorization is obtained where necessary.

You may obtain emergency services from the closest available provider, and urgently needed services from any qualified provider when out of the plan’s service area or when network providers are unavailable. You may download guidelines for finding providers and pharmacies in an emergency situation for more information. Please be aware that with the exception of emergencies, it may cost more to get care from out-of-network providers.
