  • Address depression, stress, anxiety or substance use issues​

  • Work through emotional issues or grief​
  • Get legal or financial assistance​
  • Find support for child and elder care services

Keeping care on track

Preventive care - such as routine annual checkups and certain recommended screenings and immunizations - is covered by most UnitedHealthcare plans for $0 out-of-pocket when you see network providers. A preventive care visit may be a good time to help establish your relationship with your primary care provider. It can also help you manage your health and create a connection for future medical services.
