It’s only natural to have questions about your new plan and your new health insurance carrier. If you can’t find the answer to your question here, please feel free to call our Customer Service Representatives.
How can I find a doctor or clinic in my network?
Our interactive find care application lets you search for physicians, dentists, pharmacists and clinics by location, gender or language spoken. Once your ODS plan is effective, you can search the find care application using your subscriber ID so that all your results will be catered to your specific plan. For now, you can search the find care application as a guest. All results also show the network for each physician, dentist, pharmacist or clinic. To find out which network you are in, please contact your HR department.
How do I know what network I am in?
Soon, you will receive your ODS member ID card. Your ID card will show which network you are in. If you would like to know the name of your network before your ID card arrives, please contact your HR department.
How do I send in my claims?

Do I need a referral to see a specialist?
It depends on the type of plan you have. If you have a Preferred Provider Plan (PPO) you do not need a referral. If you have a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) or Point of Service (POS) plan you do need a referral. To verify the type of plan you have, please contact your HR department.
Do I pay ODS when I get a bill from my medical or dental provider?
No. If you receive a bill from your medical or dental provider, verify that your provider is billing you for the charges your health plan did not cover. Once you have confirmed the bill is for charges not covered by insurance, pay your provider directly.
