National Provider Network

Coast-to-Coast Coverage

Whether you’re on vacation or traveling for work, it’s good to know that CDPHP has you covered. Our expansive national network* includes more than 1,000,000 doctors, specialists, and nurses across the country, giving you access to superior health care coverage virtually anywhere in the United States.

To give you access to providers outside the CDPHP Upstate New York service area, we use the MAGNACARE network in the Western New York and New York City/New Jersey areas, and the First Health network for the rest of the country. 

You’ll notice the MAGNACARE and First Health logos on the front of your CDPHP ID card.

CDPHP ID card

Network providers outside the Upstate New York service area may not be familiar with the name CDPHP. If a provider you found on the CDPHP Find-A-Doc search tool in another part of the country tells you they don’t accept CDPHP, mention that CDPHP is part of the MAGNACARE network in the Western New York and New York City/New Jersey areas, and the First Health network anywhere else in the country.

Worldwide Emergency Care

It’s important to know that CDPHP members are covered worldwide for emergency care**. That means you don’t need to make sure a hospital is in our network during a time of crisis. Just call 9-1-1 immediately (in the United States; 1-1-2 in many other countries) or head to the nearest emergency room.
