Protection Plan

With this health plan, you can use any doctor, clinic, hospital or health care facility in the choice network, which saves you money. 

If you don’t use a provider from our network, you’ll have to pay for all of the costs. Referrals are not required to see a specialist.  

Preventive care is covered 100 percent in the network. You don't have to pay any out-of-pocket costs for age appropriate preventive care as long as you use a network doctor.

The importance of a primary care provider (PCP)

Primary care provider

This plan does not require you to have a primary care provider (PCP), but choosing one for yourself and each covered family member is highly recommended. Your PCP is your health guide - coordinating your care, helping you avoid cost surprises and supporting you in achieving your best health.

You should always visit myuhc.com for the most current information. Premium designations are a guide to choosing a physician and may be used as one of many factors you consider when choosing a physician. If you already have a physician, you may also wish to confer with him or her for advice on selecting other physicians. You should also discuss designations with a physician before choosing him or her. Physician evaluations have a risk of error and should not be the sole basis for selecting a physician.
