Networks

Meritain Health's national approach to network access includes our unique ability to obtain the greatest access at the deepest discounts available for all members. We accomplish this through the leverage of our relationships with over 150 of the strongest networks in the United States to create custom network strategies for each of our clients. 

In 1988, Meritain Health launched its own Preferred Provider Organization, North American Preferred (NAP). Our network continues to expand and develop, providing us with key experience in network-building strategy. 

Our approach includes:

• Partnering with the strongest, most robust networks in the nation
• Direct contracting with individual providers to enhance your network relationships
• Creation of tiered network designs based on your business needs
• Out-of-Network claim review and application of extended discounts
• Affordability and access, significantly impacting your bottom line
