Network Providers are healthcare facilities (hospitals, clinics, laboratories, pharmacies, etc.) contracted by Nextcare, allowing you to benefit from direct settlement of bills. You can access their services by simply presenting your insurance card or national ID (depending on the country where services are obtained).

You may search for a healthcare provider through the Nextcare website www.nextcarehealth.com or through the Mobile App available on Google Play and Apple Store.

To benefit from your insurance policy, it is advised to visit healthcare providers within your covered network as you will either pay nothing or pay a small percentage of the bill, depending on your policy.

It is advisable that prior to visiting medical facility of your choice, you call and book for an appointment with the respective physician/doctor. We also advise that while booking you confirm with the acceptance of your policy by the physician of your choice.
