Keeping care on track

Preventive care - such as routine annual checkups and certain recommended screenings and immunizations - is covered by most UnitedHealthcare plans for $0 out-of-pocket when you see network providers. A preventive care visit may be a good time to help establish your relationship with your primary care provider.
