Beech Street Health Insurance Company

Beech Street Health Insurance Company is commonly, but incorrectly, referred to as Beach Street Health Insurance Company, most likely because the company was started in San Diego, California back in 1951. Since then it has grown from servicing the residents of Southern California to providing networks nationwide.

Beech (or Beach) Street Health Insurance is not an actual health insurance provider, but rather a network provider operating as Beech Street under the Viant network. Viant was founded in 2007 as an off-shoot of Concentras, which was originally called Preferred Payment Systems. It currently boasts over seven hundred clients and sixteen million members.

Beech Street Network Services

Beech Street is one of the largest Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) network providers with over 560,000 practitioners, 5,000 hospitals, 85,000 specialty care facilities, and 52,000 facility locations. There are three service plans available that are comprised of these network providers.The primary plan is the Beech Street Primary Health Benefit Network in which patients choose doctors from within the network to receive plan benefit coverage. Patients can access a directory to confirm that their provider is a participant.

For patients who choose doctors that are not part of the primary network, there is the Beech Street Complementary Network. The benefits applied through this network can be either in-network or out-of-network depending on the patient’s plan. Here, too, patients are provided with a directory of provider participants. The third service plan is the out-of-network plan called Beech Street Supplemental Network.

Initially established as a Third Party Administrator (TPA) for Workers’ Compensation, Beech Street continues to offer Workers’ Compensation with a network of over 15,000 hospitals and specialty treatment facilities and 273,000 specialty and primary care physicians. Auto Medical is another option provided by Beech Street. Auto medical insurance is no fault insurance that covers the insured and all of the passengers in the insured’s vehicle regardless of who was at fault for the accident. Any immediate treatments that are required as a result of the car accident will typically be covered. A provider directory helps patients verify their provider’s participation.
