The University contracts with various companies to help administer our benefit and retirement plans. Some of these companies offer online directories of in-network providers. 

When clicking on the links on this page, you will be directed to the administrator's website and exit the UM System website. Some administrators' websites will only be fully functional if you are using an up-to-date browser. 

You should always verify that your health care provider is participating in our network and accepting new patients before you receive services. You can do this by contacting your health care provider directly, checking the plan administrator’s online provider directory or calling the plan's customer service office at the telephone number shown on the back of your ID card.
