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.
On August 26, 2026, you’re moving away from the PHCS PPO to Zelis Open Access.

How to keep billing smooth, what to do about a surprise bill, and a couple of reminders.
Certain providers charge more than others. With our color-coded system, it’s easy to see how a provider ranks based on historical billing.
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.
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.
