Select Colorado 3500 HDHP Plan

In collaboration with UCHealth, the SelectColorado plan is designed to help you build a strong connection between you and your primary care physician (PCP)—someone who can help coordinate your care and support you in achieving your best health.

You can select Tier 1 providers to help you get the most from of your benefits. Tier 1 providers are doctors, specialists, and other health care facilities recognized for value in health care delivery.

It also features a Health Savings Account (HSA) — a personal bank account that lets you put money aside, tax-free, to save and pay for qualified medical expenses.  

To be eligible to enroll for this plan, you must live or work in Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas, El Paso, Jefferson, Larimer, Mesa, Pueblo, Routt, Teller or Weld County.

The importance of a primary care provider (PCP)

Primary care provider

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

If you don't select a PCP by the deadline, one will be selected for you.  But you can always change your PCP anytime at myuhc.com.

The importance of a primary care provider (PCP)

Having a PCP to help guide and coordinate your care is important whether or not the health plan you select requires one.

Copays and cost sharing

Most health plans share the same idea: there's how much you pay for the cost of care, when you pay for it, and what percentage of those costs you and your plan share. It can all be a little confusing, especially when you add in words like "deductible" and "copay".

To make it easier, here's an example of how health plans work.


At the start of your health plan year...

You're responsible for paying 100% of the costs for covered health care, up until you reach your deductible. The deductible is the amount you pay before the plan starts sharing costs. Age appropriate preventive care is covered 100% as long as you use a network provider.


About COPAYS...

Some health plans have a copay, which is a fixed amount you pay each time you see a provider or purchase a prescription. Because copays don't count toward your deductible, you're responsible for paying 100% of your copay up until you reach your out-of-pocket limit.


When you reach your DEDUCTIBLE

Coinsurance kicks in and your health plan starts sharing a percentage of these costs with you, up until you reach your out-of-pocket limit.


When you reach your OUT‑OF‑POCKET LIMIT

The most you'll have to pay for the costs of health care in a plan year is your out-of-pocket limit. Once this limit is reached, your health plan covers you at 100% for the rest of the plan year.
