We hold ourselves clinically and financially accountable for health outcomes in our communities. We are nationally renowned for delivering quality, compassionate patient care.
The Summa Health System Partner Program:
This program allows eligible patients with out-of-network benefits to receive their healthcare services at Summa Health System, even if Summa Health System is not the in-network provider. Under the terms of the program, all out-of-network penalties for hospital services are waived. Patients will be responsible only for any in-network deductible co-pay, co-insurance or patient conveniences such as a private room. Summa Health System cannot guarantee all physicians will participate in this program; therefore, you should discuss your physician's fees with your healthcare provider before services are performed.
Services Covered by the Partner Program:
- Medical services
- Maternity services
- Surgical procedures
- Diagnostic procedures
The program covers all ancillary services performed at a Summa Health System entity.
Eligibility
If you would like to use a Summa Health System facility and have out-of-network benefits such as a PPO, POS or an HMO plan with out-of-network benefits, please discuss with your physician.

- Individuals covered by a health plan for federal employees
