How to Check Your Hospital and Doctors
Whether a hospital is in network depends on the exact plan and the county you live in. Before you enroll, confirm your hospital, your primary care doctor and your specialists in the Wellcare provider search. We can also check for you. We do not charge for this service, and the plan costs the same through us as it does directly.
