Disclaimers
- This Directory lists health care professionals (such as doctors, nurse practitioners, and psychologists), facilities (such as hospitals or clinics). We also list the pharmacies that you may use to get your prescription drugs.
- We will refer to these groups as “network providers” in this Directory. These providers signed a contract with us to provide you services. This means they accept members of our plan and provide services our plan covers. All providers in this provider directory accept both Medicare and Medicaid.

- RiverSpring Star (HMO I-SNP): Bronx, Kings, New York, Queens, Richmond, Nassau and Westchester.

Choosing a Primary Care Provider (PCP)
You can get services from any provider who is in our network and accepting new members.
When you become a member of our plan, you will choose a PCP who is part of our plan network. This provider will be your PCP.
If you did not choose a PCP or would like to make a change to your PCP, go to the list of providers and choose a provider:
- that you use now, or
- who has been recommended by someone you trust, or
- whose offices are easy for you to get to.
If you want help in choosing a PCP, please call Member Services at 1-800-771-0088 TTY/ TDD 711, 7 days a week from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET.
How to Identify Providers in RiverSpring’s Network
You must get all your covered services from providers within our network. If you go to providers who are not in RiverSpring’s network (without prior authorization or approval from us), you will have to pay the bill.
A prior authorization is an approval from RiverSpring before you can get a specific service, drug, or see an out-of-network provider. Riverspring Star (HMO I-SNP) and RiverSring MAP (HMO D-SNP) may not cover the service or drug if you don’t get approval.
The exceptions to this rule are when you need urgent or emergency care or dialysis and cannot get to a provider in the plan, such as when you are away from home. You can also go outside the plan for other non-emergency services if RiverSpring gives you permission first.
- You may change providers within the network at any time during the year. If you have been going to one network provider, you do not have to keep going to that same provider.
- RiverSpring works with all the providers in our network to accommodate the needs of people with disabilities. As applicable, the list of network providers in this Directory includes information about the accommodations they provide. If you need to see a provider and are not sure if they offer the accommodations you need, RiverSpring can help you. Talk to your care teamfor assistance.
How to Access Out-of-Network Providers
Out-of-network providers are providers that are not in the RiverSpring network. If you need care that our plan covers and our network providers cannot give it to you, you can get permission from RiverSpring to get the care from an out-of-network provider. Contact Member Services at 1-800-771-0088 TTY/ TDD 711, 7 days a week from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET.
How to Access Specialty Providers
You can get additional information about how to access specialty care by calling Member Services at 1-800-771-0088 TTY/ TDD 711, 7 days a week from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET.
