All of the providers in this directory have agreed to accept our payment, plus any applicable coinsurance or co payments for which you may be responsible, as payment-in-full for the covered services described in your plan's Evidence of Coverage or Certificate of Insurance. Making quality part of the equation We have made quality measures an essential part of how we categorize hospitals. We use quality data compiled from two leading independent performance initiatives: the Leapfrog Group survey, which focuses on hospital quality and safety practices, and the hospital performance ratings used by the California Hospital Assessment and Reporting Taskforce (CHART). The Leapfrog Group is an initiative driven by organizations that buy health care who are working to initiate breakthrough improvements in healthcare safety, quality and affordability. The Leapfrog Group's growing consortium of major companies and other large private and public healthcare purchasers provide health benefits to more than 37 million Americans in all 50 states. The Leapfrog Group survey is a voluntary program in which hospitals report on the quality and safety practices they have implemented.

  • Californiachoice® Small Group Advantage PPO Three-Tier Hospital Network
    CaliforniaChoice® Small Group Advantage PPO three-tier hospital network With the CaliforniaChoice Advantage PPO plans, you have a choice of tiers (or levels) of hospitals to visit. Tier one hospitals offer the greatest savings to you. Tier two hospitals have the second best level of savings. Tier three hospitals — or out-of-network hospitals — offer the least out-of-pocket savings, but you’ll still be covered. Keep in mind that the tier levels aren’t based on the quality of care given at each hospital. They’re based on which hospitals have shown they’re better able to give quality care that’s also cost effective. Our three-tier levels* are: }}Tier 1 — PPO network hospitals with lower-negotiated hospital reimbursement rates. }}Tier 2 — the remaining PPO network hospitals. }}Tier 3 — non-network hospitals. * The tier levels are not based on the quality of care given at each hospital.
