Zelis — Member Provider Preview

Freedom to choose your care.

On August 26, 2026, you’re moving away from the PHCS PPO to Zelis Open Access. There’s no network list to choose from — you can see any licensed doctor or hospital, including the providers you see today. To help you choose well, you’ll have a free tool called Compass Connect to look up providers and compare costs.

What open access means for you

No network list, no approved list — just freedom and support.

See any provider you choose

You're not limited to an approved list. Every licensed doctor and hospital is available to you.

Support is built in

A dedicated Member Advocate can answer your questions and even reach out to your doctor's office on your behalf to explain how your program works.

Medi-Share handles your bill

Your provider bills us directly. Medi-Share and our partner, Zelis, handle discounts and negotiations on your behalf, at no additional cost to you.

Good to know

A few things worth knowing

How to keep billing smooth, what to do about a surprise bill, and a couple of reminders.

Provider cost transparency

Certain providers charge more than others. With our color-coded system, it’s easy to see how a provider ranks based on historical billing.

Choose a preferred provider

It’s the easiest path — the smoothest billing and the lowest chance of any added cost to you. Compass Connect points you toward these providers when you search.

If you ever get a surprise bill

It’s rare. If a provider bills you for more than expected, don’t pay the extra right away — a Member Advocate will work directly with your provider to resolve it.
