A healthcare network is typically the group of physicians, hospitals and other healthcare providers that have contracted with one or more health insurance companies to provide healthcare services to the insurers' subscribers at agreed upon pricing. Generally there are economic incentives, such as lower deductibles, in the insurers' subscriber agreements designed to encourage patients to use "network" (contracted) providers. Sometimes the network has "gatekeeper" primary care providers, who manage access to the network. In some cases no benefits are paid outside of the network.
