Why we have the network we do and why 35 miles?

Updated on December 15th, 2023

Having the Carle only network can help to lower the overall cost of health insurance. 

This allows us to better control cost and ensure our team members are getting the quality care they need at a lower contracted price, compared to other providers. 

The 35 mile radius limits the burden on those team members that may have longer drive times to see a Carle provider. 

  • We encourage the use of Virtual Visits when possible to reduce travel time. 
  • Also, Convenient Care and Urgent Care visits are always billed as in-network, which allows you to see a provider closer to home in times of severe illness.
