This program is not a substitute for a doctor’s or professional’s care. Consult with your clinician for specific health care needs, treatment or medication.

UnitedHealthcare Benefit Ally® offers Accident Protection, Critical Illness, and Hospital Indemnity products provided by UnitedHealthcare Insurance Company. Each product provides separate limited benefits. Accident Protection, Critical Illness and Hospital Indemnity coverages are NOT considered minimum essential coverage under the Affordable Care Act and therefore none of the products satisfy the mandate to have health insurance coverage. Failure to have other health insurance coverage may be subject to a tax penalty. Please consult a tax advisor. The policies have exclusions, limitations, reductions of benefits, and terms under which the policy may be continued in force or discontinued. For costs and complete details of the coverage, call or write your insurance agent or the company. These products are not available in all states. UnitedHealthcare Insurance Company is located in Hartford, CT.

Here’s how:

A Benefit Assistant proactively looks for eligible medical claims that qualify for a claim payment.
When they find a claim, they will reach out to you personally to help submit the claim quickly and accurately- some may be paid automatically.

These services may be based on your age and other health factors.
