Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A provider-sponsored network is a group of physicians and hospitals who have come together to offer a health insurance contract in areas where there is no available health maintenance organization (HMO).

These networks are designed to give providers greater control over the delivery of healthcare services and provide patients with more access to providers who can offer quality care at an affordable cost.
