What are ancillary providers?

Ancillary providers are healthcare professionals or organizations that offer supplementary services to support the primary care provided by physicians and hospitals. This includes a wide range of services such as physical therapy, laboratory testing, radiology, and home health care. Ancillary providers play a crucial role in the healthcare system by enhancing patient care, improving outcomes, and facilitating access to specialized services. They often work collaboratively with primary care providers to ensure comprehensive patient management.
