UnitedHealthcare SignatureValue® Alliance HMO plan

Please note: This information is for active CalPERS members only. If you are a Medicare-eligible retiree, please see the UnitedHealthcare® Group Medicare Advantage (PPO) plan on this site for information on your Medicare Advantage plan options.

With this health plan, you'll need to select a primary care physician (PCP) from the SignatureValue Alliance HMO network. Your PCP will perform a key role in guiding your health care by helping you avoid duplicating tests and services, connecting you with a specialist if needed and supporting you in achieving your best health.

You won't have coverage if you use an out-of-network provider or if you see a specialist without a referral from your PCP.

Preventive care is covered 100% 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.

Primary Care Physician

With this plan, you'll need to select a primary care physician (PCP) for yourself and each covered member. Your PCP is your health guide - coordinating your care, helping you avoid cost surprises and supporting you in achieving your best health.

It's easy to find and choose a network PCP—to get started, go to Provider Search. If you end up not picking a PCP by the deadline, one will be selected for you—but know that you can always change your PCP anytime at myuhc.com.

To get started, go to Provider Search. After that, follow these steps.

1. Under Find Health Care by Category, select People.

2. Then select Primary Care for a list of the PCP types.

3. Click on All Primary Care Physicians to see a list of PCPs.

4. Choose the name of the network PCP you'd like to coordinate your care.

5. Click Enrollment Information for the Physician ID number — you'll want the number when you enroll.

A friendly reminder: if you're enrolling in a family health plan, you'll need to choose a PCP for each plan member.
