Exclusive Provider Organization

An Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO) is usually made up of a group of physicians, one or a small number of hospitals, and other health care providers who contract either with an insurer or directly with an employer to provide services for enrollees/employees. The arrangement is similar to a PPO; however, enrollees must receive their health services from only the designated exclusive providers in order for any portion of the care to be covered by the insurance carrier.

Please contact your health plan to determine if Mission Hospital is a participating provider.
