When your Harvard Pilgrim plan has LP (low-cost provider) benefits, you can pay lower out-of-pocket costs for advanced radiology (e.g., MRI, CT/CAT and PET scans), lab and outpatient surgery services when you receive them from select low-cost providers.

Note: HMO plans require a referral from your primary care provider or specialist. See the Schedule of Benefits for details.

To find out where you can save money, visit harvardpilgrim.org.

  • Click on “Find a Provider” and choose the directory for your plan under “LP (Low-Cost Provider) Plans.”
  • Under “Search by Provider Type,” Select “Other Care Providers.”

For advanced radiology providers

  • On the next screen, under “Specialty,” choose “Computerized Axial Tomography (CAT),” “MRI,” or “Positron Emission Tomography (PET).”

For labs and ambulatory surgery centers

  • On the next screen, under “Specialty,” choose either “General Laboratory” or “Ambulatory Surgical Center.”
  • Look for facilities with an “LP (Low-Cost Provider)” designation.

When you use select low-cost providers:

  • The deductible will not apply.
  • You’ll pay a copayment or coinsurance for MRI, CT and PET scans.
  • There is no charge for covered lab tests, excluding genetic testing.
  • You’ll pay a copayment for outpatient surgery.
