Site of Service

Timely and Affordable Healthcare

Presbyterian developed the Site of Service initiative to ensure members have access to the care they need, when they need it and at the lowest out-of-pocket cost. The Site of Service initiative will help our providers guide members to accessible and cost-effective healthcare options. Having lower-cost options may also encourage members to get the care needed as prescribed by our providers.

Tests, Treatments and Procedures

Many common tests, treatments and procedures that are performed in a hospital can also be provided at more convenient and lower-cost locations. When certain procedures are done outside of a hospital-based facility, patients and members can save money on out-of-pocket costs.
