COSTS

How much does it cost me to visit my Frontier PCP?
When you visit with a Frontier PCP, there are no costs. Since this is an employer-sponsored healthcare benefit for most members, all services are covered at 100% to members and their eligible dependents. Some exclusions and limitations may apply for HDHP members. Please check with your employer for plan and cost details.

What are my costs when I am referred to care outside the Frontier clinic?
We will negotiate and coordinate care with specialist referrals from your Frontier PCP.

Some limitations and exclusion may apply.
