HMO 2000 NexusACO

With this health plan, you need to select a Primary Care Physician (PCP) from the NexusACO® network to help you manage your care. Our national Tier 1 network includes select Accountable Care Organization (ACO) providers and UnitedHealth Premium® physicians who have been evaluated and have met benchmarks for quality and cost-efficiency. Choosing Tier 1 providers and hospitals in an ACO, supplemented with the UnitedHealth Premium Provider program, will help you get the most out of your health plan benefits.

Where you go for care can make a difference. You will pay less by using Tier 1 providers so it’s important to check your doctor’s Tier 1 status before you access care to be sure their Tier 1 status hasn’t changed.  You won’t have coverage if you go out of the network. 

Benefits are reduced if you see a network specialist without an electronic referral from your PCP. 

Preventive care is covered 100 percent 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.

Spot the Tier 1 dot

Tier 1 providers are primary care provider and medical specialists typically affiliated with an ACO or are part of the UnitedHealthcare Premium® program. Tier 1 hospitals are ACO hospitals and select facilities that have been evaluated and designated for quality and cost. These providers offer you the greatest value from your health care benefits.

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.
