Does PinnacleCare only refer its Members to specific Centers of Excellence and their network of physicians?

30% of our referrals are outside of our network and database of over 5,000 physicians. We customize our search based on the clinical, geographic, and personal preferences of our Members. We often provide physician, hospital and treatment options for our Members to consider from our own researched database of practitioners. However, if a Member has a need that cannot be met by a practitioner currently in our database, we will research available options and if we identify additional physicians, these will be offered to the member as options and added to the database for future reference. These are frequently resources that have been recommended to our PinnacleCare Advocates by our Medical Advisory Board, along with regional physicians and hospitals that we have researched as our Members have moved, traveled and requested. We also research physicians and therapeutic approaches recommended by our Members who have had excellent prior experiences. On request, we will also provide background research on doctors that our Members want to remain with after they become PinnacleCare Members.
