SelectHealth Provider Networks
SelectHealth offers the choice of three networks: Med, Value, and Signature.
The Med network is best for those looking for comprehensive network throughout Utah, as well access to some providers and facilities in Idaho and Nevada.
The Value network is best for those looking for a mid-sized network for less money.
The Signature network is best for those looking for small network for even less money.
If you live in a zip code covered by the Value and/or Signature networks, you will have the option to pick your network. Otherwise, you will default to the Med network.
The Med network covers more geography and providers than the Value and Signature networks. Thus, it costs more. A plan with the Med network will cost more than the same plan with the Value network. And a plan with the Value network will cost more than the same plan with the Signature network.
You can use SelectHealth's provider lookup tool to search providers in each network.
Here’s a visual overview of each network:
When you look at a SelectHealth plan, be sure to note whether it is the Med, Value, or Signature network version.
