Questions and Answers About Loyola Insurance Plans

How do I know if the health insurance plan I am considering uses Loyola University Health System (Loyola)?
Talk to a representative of the health insurance plan. Ask if the plan contracts with Loyola University Medical Center/Loyola University Physician Foundation-affiliated physicians, hospitals and other
services, and ask how to maximize your benefits. If your health insurance plan requires you to use a primary care physician, ask that physician if he or she will refer you to an LUHS-affiliated provider when necessary and appropriate.
