Insurance at UHC

The top three things you need to know about insurance at UHC:

1) Call your insurance provider before visiting the Health Center to make sure they will cover services at the UHC. The UHC is in-plan with Aetna, United HealthCare, Cigna and Carefirst/ Blue Cross-Blue Shield PPO and EPO plans only. Some insurance plans may require a referral, preauthorization or precertification.

If your insurance is a HMO or POS plan, call customer service to verify benefits for care provided at the UHC. Generally, the customer service phone number is listed on your insurance card. Make sure you know your policy number and policyholder’s name when you call. Be sure to ask if your visit to the UHC will be covered and if you will be responsible for any payment.

WARNING:  Some HMO plans do not have out of network benefits.  You will be responsible for all charges.

2) Always bring your insurance card and photo ID to every visit.
