With this health plan, you need to select a Primary Care Physician (PCP) from the NexusACO® network to help you manage your care. Our national Tier 1 network includes select Accountable Care Organization (ACO) providers and UnitedHealth Premium® physicians who have been evaluated and have met benchmarks for quality and cost-efficiency. Choosing Tier 1 providers and hospitals in an ACO, supplemented with the UnitedHealth Premium Provider program, will help you get the most out of your health plan benefits.
Where you go for care can make a difference. You will pay less by using Tier 1 providers so it’s important to check your doctor’s Tier 1 status before you access care to be sure their Tier 1 status hasn’t changed. You won’t have coverage if you go out of the network.
Benefits are reduced if you see a network specialist without an electronic referral from your PCP.
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.
Our comparison chart helps you find your best fit by listing important plan benefits side-by-side.
Network coverage plays a big part in delivering you cost savings and quality care. With the network, you'll have access to a group of health care providers and facilities that have a contract with UnitedHealthcare.
To help save on costs, choose care and services from within our network.
With this plan, you'll need to select a primary care provider (PCP) for yourself and each covered family member. Your PCP is your health guide - coordinating your care, helping you avoid cost surprises and supporting you in achieving your best health.
If you don't select a PCP by the deadline, one will be selected for you. But you can always change your PCP anytime at myuhc.com.
Having a PCP to help guide and coordinate your care is important whether or not the health plan you select requires one.
Most health plans share the same idea: there's how much you pay for the cost of care, when you pay for it, and what percentage of those costs you and your plan share. It can all be a little confusing, especially when you add in words like "deductible" and "copay".
To make it easier, here's an example of how health plans work.
You're responsible for paying 100% of the costs for covered health care, up until you reach your deductible. The deductible is the amount you pay before the plan starts sharing costs. Age appropriate preventive care is covered 100% as long as you use a network provider.
Some health plans have a copay, which is a fixed amount you pay each time you see a provider or purchase a prescription. Because copays don't count toward your deductible, you're responsible for paying 100% of your copay up until you reach your out-of-pocket limit.
Coinsurance kicks in and your health plan starts sharing a percentage of these costs with you, up until you reach your out-of-pocket limit.
The most you'll have to pay for the costs of health care in a plan year is your out-of-pocket limit. Once this limit is reached, your health plan covers you at 100% for the rest of the plan year.

The UnitedHealth Premium® designation program is a resource for informational purposes only. Designations are displayed in UnitedHealthcare online physician directories at myuhc.com®. 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. Please visit myuhc.com for detailed program information and methodologies.
