Non-Network Referral Service

The GAIP plan allows you and your enrolled, eligible dependents to seek medical treatment wherever you please. However, your cost when using a non-network provider is higher than if you see a network provider. Please review the plan book and summaries for more information on the network providers and the differences in benefits.

If you need non-emergency services outside of western Washington, you may wish to use the Coalition America referral service. If you use this service, you may be able to find a provider who will cost less, but there is no guarantee. Coalition America providers in most cases are considered non-network providers.
