YES, you can come to Methodist!

If Methodist is not your preferred provider, call our Matching Hotline.  You may qualify for our Matching Program and save money, too!

The Methodist Matching Program

The Methodist Matching Program helps you use inpatient, outpatient and diagnostic services at Methodist hospital, even if Methodist is considered "out-of-network" under your insurance plan. Most Blue Cross/Blue Shield PPO members qualify for the Methodist Matching Plan.

No out-of-pocket expenses

When you qualify for the Matching Program, you have no out-of-network penalties and no out-of-pocket expense on services done at Methodist Medical Center.  The Matching Program does not include physician fees. But all Methodist Medical Group and hospital-based providers are in the Blue Cross/Blue Shield network and are covered under the in-network benefit. 

We make it easy for you to use Methodist Hospital

At Methodist Medical Group, we want to make it easier for you to use Methodist hospital because:

• We know and trust the specialists and staff at Methodist
• Our computers are linked to Methodist for the fastest access to your medical records and test results.

Please note: Medicaid, Medicare, HMOs, and Caterpillar insurance plans are not eligible for this program.  If you are covered by Medicaid, Medicare, or Caterpillar insurance, your out-of-pocket co-payments will still be required for services received from Methodist.  This program is for inpatient and outpatient hospital services only and does not include physician fees.
