Colorado Doctors Plan®

A collaboration between UnitedHealthcare, CommonSpirit Health, AdventHealth, HealthONE and Banner Health.

Colorado Doctors Plan® is a different kind of health plan that focuses on your relationship with your doctor.

With this health plan, you will need to select a primary care provider (PCP) to guide your care, help you avoid cost surprises and support you in achieving your best health. Colorado Doctors Plan uses your personal health record to help network doctors coordinate your care.

If you need to see a network specialist, you will not need a referral from your PCP.

This plan includes copays - which is the fixed amount you pay each time you see a network provider.  

Colorado Doctors Plan is available to employees living in one of these counties: Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas, Elbert, El Paso, Jefferson, Larimer, Logan, Morgan, Phillips, Sedgewick and Weld counties.

 

We’re here for you, even when you’re away

You can find nearby network care by visiting the Doctors Plan provider directory on the UnitedHealthcare® app or myuhc.com®  and search by location. You have access to the Doctors Plan PCPs, specialists and hospitals in any state — for any eligible service — regardless of your PCP local network selection.

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.
