NexusACO OAP Plan

With this health plan, you’ll 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 may choose services from an out-of-network provider. However, care services may likely cost you more.

To see a network specialist, you don’t need a 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.

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.
