Networks and Third Party Administrators
The City is a founding member of HealthCare
Sarasota, a local not-for-profit Preferred Provider Organization.
We joined with Sarasota Memorial Hospital and other local
employers to secure the best healthcare providers and pricing
possible.
Locally,
the Gulf Coast Provider Network is used for EPO1, EPO2 and
PPO coverage. Sarasota Memorial, Manatee Memorial Hospital,
Venice Hospital, numerous physicians, labs and other facilities
are members. The Gulf Coast Provider Network has hospitals,
facilities, and providers in Hillsborough, Pasco and Pinellas
counties in addition to Sarasota and Manatee. www.gulfcoastprovider.net.
For coverage outside the Gulf Coast Provider Network for
those with EPO2 and PPO, go to Beech Street website at:

The
Basic Plan uses the Gulf Coast Select Network, and is managed
by Sarasota Memorial Hospital.

EPO1,
EPO2, PPO and Basic use WEBTPA as their Third Party Administrator
(TPA).
