MAKING USE OF NETWORK SERVICE PROVIDERS
In terms of the rules of Fishmed, members should make use of network service providers for general practitioner, specialist, dental and hospital services. Using a network service provider will help you avoid co-payments, which are payable directly to the provider, and stretch your benefits for the year.
