UnitedHealthcare SignatureValue® Alliance HMO plan
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.
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.
